Causes of increased watery vaginal discharge

Causes of increased watery vaginal discharge

Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is harmless to women and is just a normal physiological phenomenon. However, various abnormalities in leucorrhea can bring harm to our female compatriots and the harm can be serious or minor, so if women find that they have abnormal leucorrhea, they should not ignore it. For example, the increase in watery leucorrhea can cause harm to women that cannot be ignored. Now let me introduce to you several reasons why the amount of watery leucorrhea increases.

During each menstrual cycle, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea changes as the secretion of estrogen varies. Generally, the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak between two menstruations (equivalent to the ovulation period). Excessive estrogen stimulates the cervical glands to secrete more mucus, so the leucorrhea at this time is watery, profuse, and transparent. It is sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads, and the vulva feels moist. After the ovulation of the follicle, progesterone increases and inhibits the secretion of cervical mucus. At this time, the leucorrhea is less in amount and thicker. There are also the following points:

1. Cervical erosion (erosion of the cervix) causes watery leucorrhea in women. Common symptoms of cervical erosion (cervical erosion) are increased leucorrhea and watery leucorrhea.

2. Vaginal Trichomonas infection. This infection can easily cause increased vaginal discharge, watery vaginal discharge, accompanied by a foul odor, and itching of the genitals.

3. Filterable infection of the cervix, vagina and vulva. Candida albicans infection causes increased leucorrhea or atrophic vaginitis. It may also be accompanied by watery leucorrhea.

4. Pathogen infection: The use of contaminated sanitary products allows pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening and cause infection.

The above are some of the reasons why watery leucorrhea occurs. The editor hopes that women will pay attention to their physical health. If watery leucorrhea occurs, they should not take random medicines to treat it alone, but go to a regular hospital for early treatment. In addition, as a woman’s partner, a man should also know how to observe whether his or her partner has any physical problems. Finally, the editor wishes everyone good health.
