What is the cause of thick vaginal discharge?

The normal leucorrhea secreted by women has a certain fishy smell, but as the most secreted substance of the female reproductive organs, it is also prone to problems. Its color and smell changes indirectly remind one of one's health condition. Thick vaginal discharge is usually caused by gynecological inflammatory problems. Viral infection, cervical erosion, bacterial infection, etc. are the main causes of thick vaginal discharge and are also the precursors of gynecological diseases.

When the leucorrhea is colorless, transparent and sticky, it may be caused by the use of estrogen drugs or physical weakness. Of course, it may also be caused by pathogen infection, such as vaginal trichomoniasis, cervical erosion or filterable virus infection. The most common symptoms are increased leucorrhea, low back pain and fatigue. Severe patients may also have gynecological diseases. Therefore, when the leucorrhea becomes sticky, it must be given enough attention.

When the leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green and is thin, thick and foamy, and there are symptoms of itching in the vulva and a foul odor, it is caused by Trichomonas vaginitis; if the leucorrhea is yellow or white, curd-like or looks like tofu dregs, most of the time the texture is sticky, and sometimes it is thin, with a slight odor and accompanied by symptoms of itching in the vulva, it is caused by candidal vaginitis; when the leucorrhea is purulent, milky white or light yellow, the amount of leucorrhea is relatively large and has a foul odor, it is generally caused by chronic cervicitis or endometritis, and most of the time there will be symptoms of abdominal pain.

Another reason is pathological factors. If there is a lot of leucorrhea with a peculiar smell and it is thick, it is generally caused by fungal infection, which leads to candidal vaginitis. This is a very common gynecological inflammatory disease, because fungi invade the vagina. Candidal vaginitis must be treated in a regular hospital as soon as possible, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the treatment of husband and wife together to avoid mutual infection and the occurrence of long-term treatment of inflammation.
