Moist and profuse vulvar discharge

Every woman's lower body will secrete some substances, just like we will have some leucorrhea in our daily life, but some other substances may also flow out in the days before and after the menstrual period. If there are some gynecological diseases, the secretion of the lower body will become more, and the color will generally be brown, and the vulva will often feel damp. So what should I do if the vulva is damp and secreted a lot?

Why is there too much secretion?

Excessive and dark-colored vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean that there is a disease. If you want to confirm whether it is a gynecological disease, women can confirm whether they have the following symptoms: excessive vaginal discharge, underwear is often wet and has a fishy smell, turbid and sticky leucorrhea, itching of the vaginal opening and vulva, and pain when urinating.

What is leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a liquid that flows out of the female vagina. It has a lubricating effect and usually has no odor or a weak odor. However, when abnormalities occur in the body, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, the color will become dark yellow, the texture will be sticky and it will have an odor. This abnormal leucorrhea phenomenon is called uterine cold leucorrhea in traditional Chinese medicine and abnormal leucorrhea in modern medicine.

Causes of abnormal vaginal discharge

Although abnormal leucorrhea does not necessarily mean inflammation or other lesions of the genitals, you should still pay more attention when abnormal leucorrhea occurs.

If the leucorrhea is too thin, white in color, has no odor, and is in large quantity, it indicates a weak spleen and stomach, and insufficient yang energy. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as a sallow and weak face, cold hands and feet, and generally speaking, it indicates poor blood circulation. Especially for fat people, if moisture accumulates in the body for a long time, it is likely to lead to increased vaginal discharge.

If damp heat accumulates in the uterus and lower abdomen, it will cause the leucorrhea to become thick and darker in color, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as genital pain, itching and fever. In severe cases, there may be leucorrhea that looks like tofu dregs. This is like boiling soup. If it is heated for a long time, the viscosity will increase. Heat will accumulate around the genitals, and the viscosity of the leucorrhea will increase, it will have an odor, and its color will become darker.

What to do if you find an abnormality

If the symptoms are not serious, just pay attention to diet and rest and take care of your body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that removing dampness is the key to treating leucorrhea. The reason for dampness is weak spleen and stomach and insufficient yang energy. Therefore, the purpose of treatment can be achieved by using medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach, raise yang energy, and supplemented with mugwort fumigation to remove dampness.

Experts advise

If the symptoms are severe, it is best to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a leucorrhea examination. Abnormal leucorrhea is often a sign of vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. If not treated early, it is likely to cause the disease to become protracted and difficult to cure.
