What is the reason for thick leucorrhea? What gynecological diseases does it represent?

If women want to observe whether they have gynecological diseases, they just need to pay attention to leucorrhea. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is colorless, transparent, water-like or milky white, with a slight fishy smell or no smell. However, if it is sticky, excessive, and yellow, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if you have any gynecological disease. So what is the reason for thick leucorrhea?

Thick leucorrhea may be caused by the following gynecological diseases:

1. Fungal vaginitis: This thick leucorrhea is caused by Candida albicans infection, which often occurs in women with diabetes, pregnant women and women who often take antibiotics. It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, bathing pools, and bath towels. Sometimes frequent vaginal flushing can also lead to this bacterial infection, resulting in thick leucorrhea. Female friends should pay attention to this.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis: This thick leucorrhea is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. The disease occurs because the infection of Trichomonas vaginalis consumes the glycogen in the vagina, destroys the self-cleaning defense function of the vagina, and causes secondary bacterial infection. It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, public baths, bathtubs, baths, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, equipment and dressings.

3. Cervical erosion: This thick leucorrhea is caused by infection due to the invasion of pathogens. Patients with cervical erosion will have increased and thicker leucorrhea, and occasionally may have purulent or bloody leucorrhea. They are often accompanied by back pain, abdominal pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Contact bleeding may also occur during sexual intercourse, and the appearance of an odor is also very likely. The main causes of cervical erosion include unclean sexual life, excessive vaginal cleaning, repeated abortions, frequent and complicated sexual life, and prolonged menstruation. Therefore, when facing thick leucorrhea caused by cervical erosion, female friends must strengthen daily protection and never take it lightly.
