What is the cause of thin and fishy leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea that is thin and has a fishy smell is a common problem for women. And we must tell female friends that no matter whether you have given birth or not, you are susceptible to these inflammatory problems. So we remind you to pay attention to scientific prevention and treatment. The following is an analysis of the causes that can cause leucorrhea to be thin and have a fishy smell. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.

To evaluate whether leucorrhea is normal, it is necessary to observe the quantity, color, texture and smell. 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 periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are stimulated to proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear in color, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn. In addition, there are some physiological phenomena, such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.

If your vaginal discharge increases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert. Common causes of increased vaginal discharge include: 1) In cases of candidal vaginitis, the vaginal discharge is yellow or white, most of the time it is thick, but sometimes it can be thin. The typical vaginal discharge is in the form of tofu dregs or curds. 2) The leucorrhea of ​​Trichomonas vaginitis is pus-like, yellow in color, and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white in color, and has a foul odor. 3) When the cervix is ​​eroded, the leucorrhea is usually yellow in color, sticky like pus, and usually odorless. 4) The leucorrhea of ​​gonorrhea is yellow and pus-like. 5) When suffering from pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, become yellow in color, and be thin in texture, often accompanied by abdominal pain.
