What is the cause of leucorrhea with pus?

The color and smell of leucorrhea can indicate whether a person's body is healthy. Leucorrhea has no smell, no color or is a light yellow liquid. If the leucorrhea is found to be purulent, it may be caused by problems such as vaginitis. There are many types of vaginitis, such as bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc. Why is the leucorrhea purulent? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What causes purulent leucorrhea?

Gynecological inflammation may be serious, especially cervical erosion, cervicitis, endometritis, and vaginitis. It is recommended that you see a doctor as soon as possible for an abdominal B-ultrasound examination and a gynecological examination to check for gynecological inflammation.

2. Why do unmarried women also suffer from vaginitis

Reason 1: The vagina is connected to the perineum. Frequent use of alkaline soaps or disinfectants to clean the vulva can also cause an imbalance of vaginal flora and lead to this disease.

Reason 2: Tight-crotch vaginitis. As the name suggests, this type of vaginitis is caused by frequently wearing tight-crotch, hip-wrapped triangle underwear and high-elastic tight fitness pants. In recent years, some girls who love beauty often like to wear tights that show their body curves. This type of pants has a tight crotch, covers the hips, and is made of chemical fiber fabric that is not breathable. Vaginal secretions and sweat are not easily dissipated, making it suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing vaginitis.

Reason three: During menstruation, bacteria can retrograde into the vagina. Failure to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and the misuse of unclean toilet paper can cause the vulva to be contaminated by unclean toilet paper and tampons, giving bacteria the opportunity to multiply and invade. Especially the menarche vaginitis in teenage girls. The first menstruation of adolescent girls is called "menarche". Due to the shyness of girls and their vague understanding of menstruation, they often do not understand or pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and abuse unclean toilet paper, causing the vulva to be contaminated by unclean toilet paper, menstrual belts and tampons, and bacteria take the opportunity to multiply and invade, causing menarche vaginitis.

Reason 4: Vaginitis in young girls is more common in little girls wearing open-crotch pants. The cause of the disease is that girls sit or crawl on the ground while playing, or stick their fingers directly into the vagina, or even place foreign objects, causing contamination of the vulva and vagina and inducing vaginitis.

3. Notes

In addition to the above reasons, some vaginitis may be caused by infection with other pathogens. For example, ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, etc. may cause vaginal infection. This kind of infection will not only cause infertility, but it is also likely to cause embryonic arrest, miscarriage, stillbirth, etc. Therefore, women of all ages may suffer from vaginitis. Therefore, female friends must do a good job of preventing vaginitis and pay attention to personal hygiene.
