The vaginal discharge is thick and looks like snot

If the leucorrhea is so thick and sticky like snot, you need to find out the cause, especially if the leucorrhea is purulent and smells unpleasant, then there is a pathological condition. When the condition worsens, you will find some pain in your abdomen. This lower abdominal pain is caused by abnormal leucorrhea, so the main disease is chronic metritis.

Leucorrhea like booger

Symptom 1: Leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow, purulent, large in amount, has a foul odor, and is often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

Symptom 2: The leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal trichomoniasis.

Symptom 3: Most of them have a thick texture, but sometimes they can be thin. They are typically milky white, like bean curd dregs, or in the form of white flakes or lumps like curd. Most of them are caused by fungal infection.

Four major reasons

Reason 1: Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue, and is common in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

Reason 2: Candidal vaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection. It is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance in the normal vaginal flora, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes people more susceptible to this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and autoimmune diseases are more susceptible to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow leucorrhea.

Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of mold. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching, often accompanied by local burning sensation. Typical leucorrhea is curd-like (tofu-like) or slightly yellow flakes, has a slight odor, and adheres tightly to the vaginal mucosa.

Reason 3: Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract. In women, it mainly exists in the vagina, but also in the urethra, paraurethral glands, bladder and other parts. In men, it often parasitizes in the urethra, prostate and other parts.

Trichomonas vaginitis is transmitted indirectly, that is, through baths, tubs, bath towels, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, medical equipment, dressings, etc. The main clinical manifestations of Trichomonas vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning or pain in the vulva and penis. The typical vaginal discharge is yellow-green, foamy, thin and has a fishy odor. When inflammation invades the urethra, there may be symptoms of urgency and frequency of urination.
