Thick white vaginal discharge

Leucorrhea is a secretion from the female vagina and is also one of the metabolic activities of the reproductive system. Of course, there are certain abnormalities in leucorrhea. For example, if the leucorrhea is thick and white, women must be cautious after experiencing such symptoms, because it may mean that women have gynecological diseases such as candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis or cervical erosion, and need to seek medical attention in time.

1. Fungal vaginitis

This thick leucorrhea is caused by Candida albicans infection, which often occurs in women with diabetes, pregnant women and women who often use antibiotics. It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, bathing pools, and bath towels. Sometimes frequent vaginal douching can also lead to this bacterial infection, resulting in thick leucorrhea. Female friends should pay attention to this.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common and frequent vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida albicans.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis

This thick vaginal discharge is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. The disease occurs because the infection of Trichomonas vaginalis consumes the glycogen in the vagina, destroys the self-cleaning defense function of the vagina, and causes secondary bacterial infection. It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, public baths, bathtubs, baths, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, equipment and dressings.

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas. The Trichomonas that parasitize the human body include Trichomonas vaginalis, Trichomonas humanis and Trichomonas oralis, which parasitize the urogenital system, intestines and oral cavity respectively. The one related to skin disease is Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes Trichomonas vaginitis.

3. Cervical erosion

This thick vaginal discharge is caused by infection due to the invasion of pathogens. Patients with cervical erosion will have increased and thicker leucorrhea, and occasionally may have purulent or bloody leucorrhea. They are often accompanied by back pain, abdominal pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Contact bleeding may also occur during sexual intercourse, and the appearance of an odor is also very likely. The main causes of cervical erosion include unclean sexual life, excessive vaginal cleaning, repeated abortions, frequent and complicated sexual life, and prolonged menstruation. Therefore, when faced with thick leucorrhea caused by cervical erosion, female friends must strengthen daily protection and never take it lightly.
