What's the matter with the white sticky liquid flowing out?

It is normal for women to have some white secretions in their vagina. This is what people often call leucorrhea. However, if there are abnormal changes in the secretions, such as a change in color, or an unusually large amount of secretions, or if the secretions become particularly viscous, these are all abnormal phenomena. So what are the reasons that cause white viscous liquid to flow out of the vagina?

What's the matter with the white sticky liquid flowing out?

Every woman attaches great importance to her physical health and hopes not to be affected by any disease, but some women have weaker constitutions and are prone to health problems. For example, some women will find that they have white and sticky secretions in their lower body. Seeing this symptom for the first time will make the patient feel uneasy, but the symptoms cannot be eliminated without understanding the situation. So what is going on with the white sticky liquid flowing out from below?

(1) The first thing to consider is whether it is caused by Trichomonas vaginitis. After the onset of this type of vaginitis, the leucorrhea will have a distinct fishy odor and may even be accompanied by symptoms of vulvar swelling and pain. Trichomonas vaginitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection in the vagina and is related to one's own lack of attention to hygiene.

(2) It may also be candidal vaginitis. After candidal infection occurs, there will be local curd-like or tofu-like leucorrhea, pain in the vulva, and obvious itching. Some patients will feel a burning sensation when urinating, and the urethra will also turn red and sting when urinating.

(3) It may be related to bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial infection can cause patients to have gray, homogeneous, fishy-smelling vaginal discharge, and the symptoms usually worsen after sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse, many women will find that they have a very obvious local odor, and even have slight vaginal bleeding. The amount of bleeding is not large, so many people do not take it seriously.

(4) Gonorrheal infection cannot be ruled out. In this case, purulent vaginal discharge may be found. The color may be yellow or green, and it will be very sticky. The discharge may have a distinct fishy odor, and may even produce bloody vaginal discharge. Some gonorrheal infections may also cause purulent leucorrhea that looks like snot.

If there is white and sticky secretions from the lower body, you should consider whether it is caused by these factors. You need to observe more during the period. If you find that the secretions are increasing, or the secretions are yellow in color, you should seek medical attention in time. When there is secretion, you must pay attention to hygiene, clean the area regularly to ensure the area is dry, and change your underwear every day.
