What does the third degree of vaginal cleanliness mean?

When many female friends are checking their gynecological conditions, they sometimes see the third degree of vaginal cleanliness on the test report, but most of them do not know much about this statement. In order to better understand women's physical condition, we need to understand the relevant knowledge in this area. So, what does the three degrees of vaginal cleanliness mean? Today we have invited a gynecologist, and our doctor will give us a detailed introduction on this issue, hoping it will be helpful to our female friends.

1. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to have leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is small in amount, colorless and odorless. If a woman has abnormal leucorrhea color, large amount, odor, and different shapes, these are common symptoms of abnormal leucorrhea in women and symptoms of certain diseases, and she must go to the hospital for examination.

2. Clinical significance of leucorrhea cleanliness grading: The female reproductive system has a natural protective function because of the presence of vaginal lactobacilli in the vagina, which can keep the vagina in an acidic environment. Other bacteria cannot survive in this acidic environment, so the vagina has a self-cleaning effect.

3. The cleanliness check of leucorrhea is to take a smear of vaginal secretions and observe the epithelial cells, vaginal bacilli, white blood cells and other bacteria under a microscope. The distribution of these components is used to determine whether there is a disease. The cleanliness of leucorrhea is divided into 4 degrees.

Grade 1: There are a large number of vaginal bacilli and epithelial cells, no miscellaneous bacteria or white blood cells, the field of vision is clear, and it is normal secretions.

Level 2: Moderate amounts of vaginal bacilli and epithelial cells, a small amount of white blood cells and miscellaneous bacteria, still normal vaginal secretions.

Grade 3: A small amount of vaginal bacilli and squamous epithelium, but a relatively large number of miscellaneous bacteria and white blood cells, indicating mild vaginal inflammation.

4 degrees: No vaginal bacilli, only a few epithelial cells, a large number of white blood cells and miscellaneous bacteria. It indicates relatively severe vaginal inflammation, such as candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis.

4. If the cleanliness level of leucorrhea is 3, it means that there are more white blood cells and the leucorrhea is turbid, which may indicate inflammation, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, uterine fibroids, etc. If the leucorrhea is yellow, purulent, or has an odor, you must be alert to the possibility that the inflammation may aggravate the infection. Go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

5. Level 3 cleanliness of leucorrhea is mostly a manifestation of vaginitis. If vaginitis is not treated promptly and effectively, the disease will recur, which can easily lead to ascending infection and cause other gynecological diseases. Therefore, it should be treated actively.

The above is an introduction to the three degrees of vaginal cleanliness. Here, our doctors would like to remind our female friends that when they have abnormal leucorrhea, they must go to the hospital in time to check the routine of leucorrhea, and do other examinations if necessary, because leucorrhea is a symbol of women's health. When leucorrhea shows abnormal symptoms, it means that there is a problem with the body. Finally, I wish those female friends who are ill can recover soon and live a happy life!
