What is the cause of vulvar itching and leucorrhea like tofu dregs?

The onset of any disease has certain precursors. Most of the common gynecological diseases among women are manifested through leucorrhea. Some women find that their leucorrhea is abnormal, but they do not know that they are in an unhealthy state. In fact, there are many types of leucorrhea, and different changes also indicate different diseases. So what is the reason for itchy vulva and leucorrhea that looks like tofu dregs in appearance in women? Let’s find out together.

Since dreg-like vaginal discharge is a relatively unusual symptom, it may be caused by vaginal inflammation. If women find that their vaginal discharge is in the form of tofu dregs and accompanied by an odor, or even obvious vulvar itching, they should consider whether it is caused by candidal vaginitis!

If a woman unfortunately suffers from candidal vaginitis, her leucorrhea will become abnormal and resemble tofu dregs, accompanied by symptoms of vulvar itching. Normal leucorrhea is indeed colorless and odorless. In this case, it is considered that the possibility of suffering from vaginitis is relatively high. The reason why the leucorrhea becomes tofu dregs-like may be a symptom of candidal vaginitis is that the typical symptoms of candidal vaginitis are like this, while other abnormal conditions such as bloody leucorrhea, dark brown leucorrhea and yellow watery leucorrhea do not correspond to candidal vaginitis.

Experts point out that under normal circumstances, women's leucorrhea is a colorless, odorless, egg white-like viscous liquid, which is also a vaginal secretion. It can prevent inflammation and infection caused by excessive dryness of the vagina. However, if a woman's leucorrhea volume increases significantly and becomes abnormal like tofu dregs, it is undoubtedly necessary to be cautious. Regardless of whether abnormal leucorrhea is caused by vaginitis or not, it is a typical manifestation of gynecological inflammation and requires timely medical treatment. If a woman receives treatment for candidal vaginitis, her partner needs to be treated at the same time, otherwise the disease will recur before it is under control or even after it is cured.

Women with candidal vaginitis can pass on Candida to their partners through sexual contact. If the woman is the only one undergoing treatment during the treatment period, and the man does not receive treatment, cross-infection from sexual intercourse will cause the disease to recur repeatedly and cannot be cured. This is something you must pay attention to.

The health of the reproductive system is closely related to women's fertility. Therefore, once women's reproductive health is threatened, not only will the body be adversely affected, but the fertility will also be reduced. In severe cases, the patient will be infertile. Therefore, in order to better ensure the harmony of our family, when leucorrhea appears to be like tofu dregs, we must seek treatment as soon as possible.
