There are many reasons for the feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the vulva, which are mainly caused by diseases of the female genitals and are quite complicated. We can first understand the possible causes, and then make a comprehensive judgment based on other characteristics of our own situation, so that we can determine what disease is causing it. Let’s look at the main reasons for the uncomfortable feeling of heaviness and swelling in the vagina. 1. Fungal vaginitis Distinctive features: Increased leucorrhea with a bean curd-like appearance Symptoms: vulvar itching, vulvar and vaginal burning pain, increased leucorrhea with a tofu-dreg-like appearance, sometimes accompanied by frequent urination, frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during sexual intercourse. During gynecological examination, white membrane-like substance can be seen attached to the inner side of the labia minora and the vaginal mucosa. After wiping, the red and swollen mucosal surface is exposed. In the acute phase, damaged erosive surfaces or superficial ulcers can be seen. Hazards: difficult to cure, prone to recurrence, causing premature birth, fetal infection and malformation, etc. 2. Nonspecific vaginitis Distinctive features: increased vaginal discharge, purulent, serous, and foul-smelling Symptoms: A feeling of falling and burning in the vagina, accompanied by pelvic discomfort and general fatigue. Vaginal discharge increases and becomes purulent, serous, and has a foul odor. Because the secretions irritate the urethral opening, it can cause frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Hazards: It can cause vaginal adhesions, vaginal pyometra or intrauterine pyometra, and easily lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, premature rupture of membranes and chorioamnionitis, etc. 3. Bacterial vaginosis Distinctive features: White foamy vaginal discharge Symptoms: Increased leucorrhea, which is grayish white, thin and foamy. The vaginal mucosa is congested, with scattered bleeding spots, itchy and burning sensation in the vulva, and a foul odor in the vulva. Hazards: Can cause genital infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, perinephritis, dyspareunia, etc. 4. Senile vaginitis Distinctive features: vulvar itching, purulent vaginal discharge Symptoms: Increased leucorrhea, which is yellow and watery. In severe cases, it may be purulent and have a foul odor. Sometimes it may be bloody or accompanied by spotting. There may be itching or burning sensation in the vulva, heaviness in the lower abdomen, and when the urethra is affected, there may be frequent, urgent, and painful urination. Hazards: Cause vaginal adhesions, vaginal pyometra or uterine pyometra. 5. Trichomonas vaginitis Distinctive features: Purulent leucorrhea, foamy Symptoms: Increased leucorrhea, which is milky white or yellow, sometimes purulent, often foamy and smelly. In severe cases, there is bloody leucorrhea, dysuria, frequent urination, and hematuria. Hazards: It may be complicated by Trichomonas urethritis, cystitis, and pyelonephritis. Since Trichomonas can devour sperm, it may cause infertility and affect sexual life. |
