Why is the leucorrhea milky white and paste-like?

Leucorrhea is a relatively common substance. It is a liquid secreted by the female reproductive system. It is transparent and has no odor when in a healthy state. The state of leucorrhea is also a barometer of women's physical health. Some women may have problems with leucorrhea due to reproductive system problems, which may cause adverse effects on their health. For example, what happens if the leucorrhea is milky white and paste-like? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

White and sticky vaginal discharge like paste

Leucorrhea is milky white and paste-like, which is usually a typical symptom of candidal vaginitis, a vaginal inflammation caused by Candida albicans infection, which is especially common in diabetics, pregnant women and women who wear tight, non-breathable clothes for a long time. The main symptoms are paste-like, increased amount of leucorrhea, fishy odor, vulvar itching, redness and swelling, urinary pain, urgency and other symptoms. Women need to go to a regular hospital for a complete gynecological examination and routine leucorrhea examination, and give targeted treatment after finding out the cause.

It is recommended that women use a combination of vaginal douching, local medication, and systemic medication at the same time. Continuous treatment is required for 2 to 3 courses. Go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after three menstrual cycles, and do a good job of anti-recurrence after recovery. Women should pay attention to maintaining good vaginal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual intercourse and sexual intercourse during menstruation.

Generally, every woman will have leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea appears to be paste-like, it may be due to vaginal inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, or other vaginal-related adnexal inflammation. Go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause and solve the problem in a timely and effective manner. Gynecological diseases are also relatively stubborn and should not be taken lightly. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination when this happens to check whether the gynecological disease is serious so that it can be prevented and treated early.

This kind of leucorrhea is normal if you do not feel any uncomfortable symptoms such as vulvar itching or pain. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, change underwear frequently, wash underwear with boiling water, dry it in the sun, and be careful not to eat spicy and irritating foods.
