What is the cause of egg white-like leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea, or vaginal discharge, is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge changes with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in amount, white or light yellow in color, and pasty. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.

If there are abnormal changes in the color, quality, and quantity of leucorrhea, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. There is always a reason for abnormal leucorrhea, and different diseases cause different abnormal leucorrhea:

1. Colorless, transparent or light yellow mucous leucorrhea: The appearance is similar to the normal leucorrhea during the ovulation period, but the amount is larger. It is common after the use of estrogen drugs.

2. Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green in color and has a foul odor. Caused by infection, it is common in vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, endometritis, etc.

3. Tofu-like leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis.

4. Bloody leucorrhea: If the leucorrhea is stained with blood, you should be alert to malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and uterine cancer. However, benign lesions such as senile vaginitis, cervical polyps, severe chronic cervicitis, intrauterine contraceptive devices, submucosal uterine fibroids, etc. may also have this symptom.

5. Purulent and bloody leucorrhea: a characteristic of amoebic vaginitis.

After understanding what egg white-like leucorrhea is, you can choose medication to improve the condition. And if the condition is serious in women, they also need to cooperate with the treatment in terms of diet and daily routine. Abnormal diet can also cause physical diseases, so women should pay attention to this. If women have leucorrhea problems during pregnancy, they should actively cooperate with the treatment.
