What are the symptoms of leucorrhea caused by fire?

Women often get irritated due to various reasons, and gynecological inflammatory diseases are the biggest impact on women's bodies. Leucorrhea is a substance that is normally secreted by the female body. The color and shape of leucorrhea can indicate the female's gynecological health. When you have a sore throat, your leucorrhea will also undergo abnormal changes, but we need to make a judgment based on our own situation. So what are the symptoms of leucorrhea caused by a sore throat?

Abnormal vaginal discharge

Leucorrhea is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle of the menstrual period and becomes thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity. There is an increase in leucorrhea before menstruation and during pregnancy. Non-primate mammals appear during estrus.

Abnormal leucorrhea refers to increased secretion or abnormal characteristics (under normal circumstances, the vagina and vulva often have a small amount of secretions to keep moist, which is called leucorrhea; it is composed of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical glands and endometrial secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells and white blood cells. It is white, thin, paste-like or egg white-like, highly viscous, without fishy odor, small in quantity, and has no adverse effects on women's health. It is called physiological leucorrhea and is related to changes in the body's physiological condition. If a woman's vagina flows out white mucus like mucus or saliva, accompanied by systemic or local symptoms, it is called pathological leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by physical weakness or phlegm and dampness, which is equivalent to vaginitis in Western medicine, but routine examination of leucorrhea often does not find pathogens. Abnormal leucorrhea is manifested by changes in color, quality and quantity:

①Purulent leucorrhea. It is yellow in color and has a foul odor. It is most commonly seen in Trichomonas vaginitis, followed by chronic cervicitis. It can also be seen in endometritis, pyometra, vaginal foreign bodies, etc.

② Bean-dreg-like leucorrhea. Also known as cheesy, it is more common in candidal vaginitis and accompanied by vulvar itching.

③Bloody leucorrhea. If there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should be alert to cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. Cervical polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, senile vaginitis, and IUD insertion can also cause it.

④Watery leucorrhea. If the discharge is large and watery, endometrial cancer or fallopian tube cancer should be considered first. If abnormal leucorrhea is seen, the medical history should be obtained in detail, and the leucorrhea should be checked for the presence of Trichomonas or fungi. The cervix, uterus and pelvic cavity should be carefully examined, and a cervical smear, biopsy or diagnostic curettage should be performed if necessary. After the cause is identified, appropriate treatment should be given.

The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen, so pre-pubertal girls generally do not have leucorrhea. After puberty, the ovaries begin to develop and secrete estrogen to promote the development of the reproductive organs, and leucorrhea begins to appear at this time. During each menstrual cycle, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea changes as the secretion of estrogen varies. Generally, the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak between two menstrual periods (equivalent to the ovulation period). Excessive estrogen stimulates the cervical glands to secrete more mucus, so the leucorrhea at this time is abundant, transparent, sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads, and the vulva feels moist. After the ovulation of the follicle, progesterone increases and inhibits the secretion of cervical mucus. At this time, the leucorrhea is less in amount and thicker. In the few days before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal exudate increases, and leucorrhea also increases slightly. Because it contains more exfoliated cells, the leucorrhea is turbid. In addition, the amount of vaginal discharge also increases after pregnancy, during sexual excitement, and after sexual intercourse.
