1. Cervical erosion

When women suffer from cervical erosion, they will experience symptoms such as increased and thick vaginal discharge, and occasionally purulent or bloody vaginal discharge with an odor. They will also experience symptoms such as low back pain, abdominal pain, and lower abdominal distension. In addition, it may cause contact bleeding during sexual intercourse, seriously affecting the quality of sexual life. There are many causes of cervical erosion, such as unclean sexual life, excessive vaginal cleaning, repeated abortions, etc. When women suffer from cervical erosion, it will cause thick leucorrhea. Therefore, female friends should actively prevent the occurrence of cervical erosion. If they suffer from cervical erosion, they should seek timely treatment.

2. Fungal vaginitis

The leucorrhea of ​​patients with candidal vaginitis will also appear thick. Candidal vaginitis occurs due to infection with Candida albicans and is more common in pregnant women, diabetics, and women who frequently use antibiotics. In addition, candidal vaginitis is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, sanitary utensils, etc. When women are infected with fungi, their leucorrhea becomes thick, which seriously threatens their health.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis

Patients with trichomoniasis have thick leucorrhea because after being infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, the glycogen in the vagina is consumed, which destroys the function of the vagina itself and leads to bacterial infection. Trichomonas vaginitis is widely transmitted, such as sexual intercourse, public baths, bathtubs, swimming pools, toilets, etc., so female friends should pay attention to personal hygiene and actively prevent Trichomonas vaginitis.

The above is an introduction to what causes thick leucorrhea. I hope it will be helpful for women’s understanding. Obviously, thick leucorrhea indicates that one has some gynecological disease. Because there are many possible types of diseases, in order to better treat them, one must clearly understand the causative factors so that targeted treatment can be carried out and the disease can be ultimately cured.
