If a woman has gynecological inflammation, it often causes abnormal leucorrhea. Sometimes it is excessive, and sometimes it is less. These are relatively common symptoms. The leucorrhea can be used to determine to a certain extent whether there is a gynecological disease. Of course, you also need to go to the hospital for routine leucorrhea examination. Let’s take a look at this aspect below. What is leucorrhea The leucorrhea of healthy women is a slightly acidic viscous substance, usually in small amounts, milky white, egg white-like in color, with a slight fishy smell. It has the function of moistening the vagina, excreting waste, and inhibiting the growth of pathogens. However, when women suffer from gynecological inflammation and other diseases, their leucorrhea will change, especially the appearance of watery leucorrhea or blood in the leucorrhea, which should cause alarm. Pay attention to the clear leucorrhea If your vaginal discharge suddenly becomes clear like water, often wets your underwear, and is accompanied by a foul odor, this is typical watery vaginal discharge. Although many gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis will have this symptom, if the watery leucorrhea is excessive and lasts for a long time, the possibility of cancer cannot be ruled out. At this time, the first thing to consider is whether you have endometrial cancer or fallopian tube cancer. In addition, if the watery leucorrhea is like rice water, it may also be a sign of fallopian tube cancer. Therefore, once watery leucorrhea occurs, you should seek medical attention promptly, learn about your medical history in detail, check for Trichomonas or fungi in the leucorrhea, carefully examine the cervix, uterus and pelvic cavity, and perform a cervical smear, biopsy or diagnostic curettage if necessary. After the cause is identified, appropriate treatment should be given. Beware of endometrial cancer If there is varying amounts of blood mixed in the leucorrhea, it may be caused by cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, severe cervicitis, etc. If it occurs for a long time or the amount of bleeding gradually increases, you should be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. Elderly women after menopause should pay special attention to this, as it may be an early sign of malignant tumors. If the amount of bleeding is very small and stops in two or three days, it is mostly bleeding caused by the shedding of the endometrium after menopause or senile vaginitis; if the bleeding is heavy or continuous, the possibility of endometrial cancer should be considered, and an endometrial pathology examination should be done to confirm the diagnosis. To sum up, after listening to the above introduction, you should now have some understanding of how to see uterine disease from leucorrhea, so we recommend that you go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, because only a regular hospital will be safer! |
