Causes of white vaginal discharge

Gynecological diseases are not common in women, and many women are troubled by them. There are many types of gynecological diseases. Many women always say that white discharge flows out of their vagina. If there is white discharge, women often associate it with many gynecological diseases. Such symptoms do not rule out gynecological diseases. So what is the reason for white vaginal discharge?

Leucorrhea is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle period and is thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity. There is an increase in leucorrhea before menstruation and during pregnancy. Non-primate mammals appear during estrus. Abnormal leucorrhea can reflect physical problems. Therefore, female friends, especially adolescent girls, should pay attention if they find that the symptoms of leucorrhea are inconsistent with normal ones.

In addition, due to the influence of diet, lifestyle habits and other aspects, light yellow is also within the normal range. This is the color of the leucorrhea due to the presence of white blood cells and vaginal epithelium, and is not an abnormality caused by disease. In addition, if the white and transparent leucorrhea gets on underwear, it will turn yellow after drying. There is no need to worry about this. The amount of vaginal discharge varies from person to person. If you are an adult woman, there is no need to worry if there is a little discharge on your underwear. Secretion increases during pregnancy or ovulation and during sexual stimulation.
