What is the reason for more leucorrhea?

Changes in the color, amount, and consistency of vaginal discharge are often signals of physical illness. If a woman suffers from a gynecological disease, especially vaginitis, she will first feel symptoms such as itching, stinging, and the color of her leucorrhea turning yellow or black. Moreover, women's leucorrhea will change with the arrival of ovulation. The vaginal discharge in the first few days after menstruation is thin and odorless, while the vaginal discharge during ovulation will have a stringy and transparent texture.

1. Increased leucorrhea may be a normal physiological phenomenon

1. The amount of leucorrhea increases before ovulation. The amount of vaginal discharge is affected by estrogen levels and may increase as estrogen levels rise. Therefore, before ovulation, the estrogen level in the body increases and the secretion of cervical mucus gradually increases. During ovulation, the leucorrhea is extremely thin and transparent. After ovulation, the estrogen level decreases and the leucorrhea gradually becomes thicker and turbid. This is a normal phenomenon.

2. Leucorrhea increases during pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant, she will secrete more thick mucus due to the influence of hormone levels. In addition, as the uterus expands, the pelvic cavity and vagina are compressed, causing the nearby blood vessels to dilate and become congested, which also causes an increase in vaginal mucosal exudate, but no treatment is required.

3. Stress causes endocrine disorders. Mental state has an important impact on physical health. Excessive mental stress often causes neurological dysfunction. For women, it is easy to cause endocrine disorders, which in turn leads to increased vaginal discharge.

4. Increased vaginal discharge during sexual excitement or intercourse. Normal sexual life or sexual excitement will stimulate the production of vaginal secretions, causing an increase in leucorrhea, which is a normal physiological reaction.

2. Increased leucorrhea may also be a sign of gynecological diseases

1. Inflammation of the reproductive organs. Gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to increased leucorrhea. Patients with vaginitis have increased leucorrhea, which becomes thin, foamy or white, like tofu dregs; patients with cervicitis have leucorrhea that is milky white mucus or light yellow pus, sometimes with blood; patients with pelvic inflammatory disease also have increased leucorrhea, which is yellow in color, thin in texture, and often accompanied by abdominal pain.

2. Increased infectious leucorrhea. Infections caused by some pathogens and bacteria entering the vagina can also lead to increased vaginal discharge, which may be caused by poor menstrual hygiene and improper use of sanitary products. In addition, it may also be a vaginal Trichomonas infection, which will cause an increase in vaginal discharge accompanied by a foul odor and genital itching.

3. Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a relatively serious gynecological disease. It is characterized by increased vaginal discharge, yellowish purulent color, and a burning sensation in the vulva. It can cause problems such as painful urination, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating.
