What are the causes and hazards of black lumps of leucorrhea

Many patients will find black lumps in their vaginal discharge in their daily lives. In fact, the causes of this symptom are very complicated, but it also shows that the patient has a gynecological inflammatory disease. Patients need to find out the cause of the black lumps in their vaginal discharge and also understand the harm caused by the disease. After understanding the disease, effective treatment can be given. So what are the causes and dangers of black lumpy vaginal discharge? Let me explain it to you below.

Causes of black lumps in vaginal discharge:

1. Excessive use of cleaning solution: If women frequently flush the vagina, especially with cleaning solution, the number of lactobacilli will decrease, which will destroy the microecological balance in the vagina and cause dysbacteriosis. Because the female vagina has a self-cleaning function, the female vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen. The vagina of normal women is parasitic with a kind of bacteria called vaginal lactobacillus, which can break down these glycogen into monosaccharides and then into lactic acid, making the vaginal environment acidic and maintaining the pH value at 4-5. Those pathogens that grow well in alkaline environments will be inhibited, which is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.

2. Long-term use of sanitary pads: Long-term use of sanitary pads, which are not breathable, often keeps the vulva in a moist state due to excessive vaginal discharge, which has a certain irritation to the local skin. It destroys the balance of the vagina and easily causes infection.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene and not changing underwear frequently: Women should change their underwear once a day, pay attention to personal hygiene, and it is best to put the changed underwear in the sun to dry.

The hazards of black lumps in vaginal discharge:

If the leucorrhea contains other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as low back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine refers to it as "leucorrhea disease". When you suffer from "leucorrhea", you cannot simply consider vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc. can all cause different types of "leucorrhea". However, from the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis are more common clinically. If the amount of leucorrhea is not much, the color is milky white or egg white-like, and it has a slightly fishy smell, but there is no discomfort, then it is physiological leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is excessive and becomes yellow, purulent, or even bloody, it is pathological. If the leucorrhea is grayish yellow, foamy, and has a fishy odor, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, burning, pain, and pain during sexual intercourse, it is mostly Trichomonas vaginitis. The leucorrhea is grayish white, like tofu dregs or curds, sometimes with a foul odor and accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain, which is mostly caused by candidal vaginitis. Leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green in color and has a foul odor, like rice soup or pus. It is mostly caused by purulent bacterial infection, such as chronic cervicitis, vaginitis in the elderly and endometritis. Blood in leucorrhea, also known as bloody leucorrhea, is often seen in severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, submucosal fibroids, and cervical cancer. Watery leucorrhea, that is, leucorrhea like thin water, sometimes like rice soup, often occurs in cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc. Sometimes submucosal fibroids or inflammation can also cause this kind of leucorrhea.

Patients should not be anxious when black lumps appear in their vaginal discharge. They can go to the hospital for a regular examination first. At this time, the examination is mainly for vaginal discharge examination, which can detect the germs or bacteria in the vaginal discharge. Patients can receive effective treatment according to the disease examined, and patients should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene in their future life, which can effectively prevent gynecological inflammation and minimize the harm to women.
