What is watery vaginal discharge?

Normal leucorrhea should be colorless and odorless, like translucent egg white. Once the shape, color, or odor changes, it usually means that the patient's leucorrhea is abnormal. Recently, a netizen consulted me about his leucorrhea being watery. What's going on? I believe this is a problem faced by many female friends in their daily lives. We consulted a gynecologist on this issue, and the expert made the following introduction.

Watery leucorrhea indicates that the nature of leucorrhea has changed. Changes in the nature of leucorrhea are a manifestation of abnormal leucorrhea, indicating that certain gynecological diseases have occurred in the body. For example, female genital trichomoniasis infection, pathogen infection, cervical erosion, fallopian tube cancer, etc. can cause leucorrhea to be like water.

The watery nature of leucorrhea is also related to the following reasons. Let’s take a look at them together.

Female genital trichomoniasis infection: This infection can easily cause an increase in watery vaginal discharge, accompanied by a foul odor, and itching of the genitals. It is easy for sexual partners to be infected with each other. During treatment, the sexual partners must be treated at the same time to prevent cross infection and achieve complete cure.

Pathogen infection: The use of contaminated sanitary products allows pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the female genital opening, causing infection. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing increased vaginal discharge.

Cervical erosion: Childbirth trauma, changes in sex hormones, or inflammation of the cervix caused by sexual intercourse may all lead to cervical erosion and the appearance of watery leucorrhea.

Atrophic gynecological inflammation: A small number of women suffer from the loss of both ovaries or early menopause due to illness, or women after menopause, due to the gradual lack of estrogen in the body, the female genital wall will gradually become fragile and susceptible to bacterial infection and inflammation, resulting in an increase in watery leucorrhea.

Experts remind that if female friends have watery leucorrhea, it is likely caused by some gynecological diseases. Therefore, if watery leucorrhea occurs, it should be taken seriously, and vigilance should be increased. Go to the hospital for examination in time, and conduct targeted symptomatic treatment after understanding the cause to prevent the condition from worsening due to untimely discovery or treatment.
