What is vaginal cleanliness level 3?

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of medical standards, in order to have a healthy baby, many women will go to the hospital to do some relevant gynecological examinations during the pregnancy preparation period. Some women get the result of "vaginal cleanliness 3 degrees" after the examination. Many friends don’t quite understand what this means, and some think they have vaginitis. Is this really the case?

As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten women have leucorrhea", which means that leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. Leucorrhea is a small amount of mucous substance that is often secreted from the female vagina. Normal leucorrhea is white, translucent, and egg white-like, odorless, and non-irritating. It reflects the quality of women's physical health and is also a sign of certain gynecological diseases.

Cleanliness level 3 means inflammation?

It is understood that general leucorrhea examination mainly includes: cleanliness, gonococci, Trichomonas, fungi, clue cells, etc. A cleanliness degree of 1-2 is considered normal, and 3 is considered inflammation. If the results of several other tests are positive, the cleanliness degree is generally 4. Doctors will generally judge whether it is vaginitis based on such results. Ye Dunmin said that the above statement is taught in medical textbooks, but in clinical practice, they will not easily make such a diagnosis. Therefore, in addition to inflammation, other factors can also cause the cleanliness of leucorrhea.

Mood, diet and sex life can also affect

For example, seasonal geographical environment will affect the cleanliness of leucorrhea. In spring and summer, the southern region is humid and hot, so the leucorrhea examination of adult women usually shows a cleanliness level of 3 degrees. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that leucorrhea, like menstruation, is related to mood and diet, which will affect the properties and texture of leucorrhea. Therefore, staying up late, irregular daily life, and eating fatty, sour, and sweet foods can also cause leucorrhea to be clear. In addition, just after the menstruation or before the menstruation, due to special physiological changes, the leucorrhea cannot be clear, and turbid leucorrhea can often be found to be clear 3 degrees. Women with active sexual lives often have a 3-degree change in cleanliness.

No symptoms can be considered normal

Due to the above reasons, although a routine vaginal discharge cleanliness level of 3 can be considered to be within the range of inflammation, as long as there are no other uncomfortable symptoms (such as vaginal pain or itching, burning, frequent and painful urination, vaginal discharge with bad odor, etc.), and no infectious pathogens are found (such as chlamydia, gonococci, etc.), it can be assumed to be normal and no treatment is required. However, if the cleanliness level is 3 and uncomfortable symptoms occur, treatment is required, but local medication can be used, unless there is a very special pathogen infection, oral antibiotics are needed.

Female friends should pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life. During menstruation, they should keep the vulva clean, change underwear frequently, and avoid sexual intercourse too frequently. If the husband has phimosis or foreskin that is too long, for the health and harmony of the couple, he should go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible and eat more heat-clearing foods.
