Causes of abnormal watery vaginal discharge

Abnormal watery leucorrhea is a particularly common gynecological disease. This disease poses a serious threat to women's health. Many women suffer serious damage to their health due to frequent watery leucorrhea. Therefore, in order to get rid of this disease, many women want to know the cause. The following is a detailed introduction to the causes of abnormal watery leucorrhea, so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

It has the following effects on women's physiological health:

1. It helps lubricate the vagina and reduce friction between the front and back walls of the vagina.

2. It is helpful to inhibit pathogens. Leucorrhea is rich in glycogen. Glycogen can produce a large amount of lactic acid under the action of vaginal lactobacilli, making the female vaginal environment acidic (pH value is 4-5). An acidic environment can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

3. It is beneficial to the combination of sperm and egg. During ovulation, women have more and thinner vaginal discharge, which helps sperm to pass through the cervix smoothly into the uterine cavity. When the sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, the leucorrhea will become more abundant and sticky, forming a mucus plug. The sticky mucus plug will block the cervical opening, preventing other sperm from entering, and protecting the uterine cavity from invasion by foreign pathogens, thereby protecting the normal implantation and development of the fertilized egg.

Generally speaking, when the color, quality, and amount of a woman's leucorrhea changes, it is often a sign of certain gynecological diseases. So, how many abnormal leucorrhea are common in clinical practice, and what diseases do they indicate?

1. Transparent and sticky leucorrhea, but the amount of this leucorrhea increases significantly. Women often experience this type of leucorrhea because they use estrogen drugs or vaginal contraceptives. Women who have this kind of leucorrhea may suffer from chronic cervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma.

2. Grayish yellow or yellowish white foamy and thin leucorrhea. In addition, patients with this disease may also experience symptoms such as vulvar itching.

3. Curd-like or tofu-like leucorrhea. The appearance of this type of leucorrhea is a typical symptom of candidal vaginitis in women. Candida vaginitis is also called fungal vaginitis. Patients with this disease often experience severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

4. Grayish white, homogeneous leucorrhea with a fishy smell. Patients with this disease may experience mild vulvar itching.

5. Purulent leucorrhea is sticky and often has a foul odor and is caused by bacterial infection. This type of leucorrhea can be seen in women with acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis. In addition, patients with pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or foreign objects remaining in the vagina may also have pus-like leucorrhea.

Because women are under a lot of pressure nowadays, coupled with staying up late too much, and other factors, it is particularly easy for women to have watery leucorrhea. The above details the causes of abnormal watery leucorrhea. Women with this symptom can fully understand the reasons and then improve them through treatment as soon as possible.
