Why does the vaginal discharge look like tofu dregs?

Leucorrhea is a normal substance secreted from the vagina after a woman reaches sexual maturity. It is a barometer of whether the reproductive system is healthy. Many gynecological diseases can be diagnosed by observing the leucorrhea. Some women have a lot of leucorrhea, some have an odor or a different color, which all reflect that there are certain problems with the reproductive system. So, why does leucorrhea look a bit like tofu dregs? Is there any way to treat it?

1. Causes

Tofu-like leucorrhea is a typical fungal infection. Vaginal candidiasis is a common vaginal inflammation in gynecology, which is classified as "vaginal itch" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is prone to relapse. The causes of candidal vaginitis are increased glycogen in the vagina, increased acidity, and massive reproduction of Candida albicans among the fungi.

Once discovered, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and take a sample of leucorrhea for testing to eliminate the cause. You can take 500,000 units of nystatin tablets orally three times a day, for a course of 7 days.

Candidal vaginitis needs to be treated by both husband and wife, and gay men are advised to pay attention to this.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Take 60-70 grams of Magenlan, decoct it into a water solution and use it for external washing, once a day.

Treatment with Chinese herbal medicine: Use Chinese herbal decoctions that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, killing insects and relieving itching to fumigate and wash the vulva, which can both relieve symptoms and inhibit and eliminate Candida albicans. Since the itching, pain and burning symptoms of the patient's vulva are significantly alleviated after fumigation, it is more suitable for women with acute candidal vaginitis and can relieve the patient's pain. In addition, Chinese herbal medicines can be made into powders or suppositories and applied vaginally.

Now we know that if a woman’s leucorrhea looks a bit like tofu dregs, she must be suffering from a gynecological disease. With the changes in our lifestyle and the increase in stress, gynecological diseases are now very common. If not treated in time, they may affect fertility. Therefore, if you find some abnormalities in your leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
