What is the reason why the leucorrhea is a little blue?

A woman's leucorrhea often reveals whether she is healthy or not. If she suffers from gynecological diseases, including vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, etc., it may cause abnormal leucorrhea. For example, some women find that their leucorrhea has turned blue in recent times. This is obviously a manifestation of illness and they definitely need to go to the hospital for treatment. So, what causes the bluish color of vaginal discharge?

It is not difficult to diagnose based on symptoms and signs, and the diagnosis can only be confirmed if Trichomonas vaginalis is detected. Vaginal fluid is examined using the hanging drop method. Active Trichomonas can be found under the microscope and can also be seen in the stained smear. Culture can be performed if necessary. When Trichomonas infection affects vaginal cells, care should be taken to differentiate it from malignant tumors. If necessary, vaginal cytology examination can be performed after treatment.

Pathological leucorrhea is mostly inflammatory leucorrhea, leucorrhea caused by tumors and leucorrhea caused by foreign bodies. The following pathological leucorrhea are common symptoms:

1. Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and similar in properties to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

2. White or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

3. Curd-like leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

4. Gray homogeneous leucorrhea with fishy smell: thin, small to large amount, unpleasant smell, commonly seen in bacterial vaginosis.

5. Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky, and often smelly. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or foreign objects retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

6. Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.

7. Watery leucorrhea: If watery leucorrhea like rice washing water continues to flow out and is accompanied by a foul odor, it is usually due to advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellow or red watery vaginal discharge, you should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

Don't be afraid of seeing a doctor

I have already described the normal leucorrhea of ​​adult women in the introduction. If the leucorrhea appears green, it is very likely an inflammation of the reproductive system, and it is more likely to be Trichomonas vaginitis. So when the vaginal discharge is green, don't feel embarrassed to go to the hospital, and don't worry. Just get treatment in time. There is no need to worry about it. Solving the problem is the best way. Nothing is more important than your own health!

Go to the hospital

When you find that your leucorrhea has turned green, it is recommended that you go to a qualified obstetrician and gynecologist and have the doctor perform a gynecological examination, check your vaginal secretions, and do bacterial culture if necessary. Only after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment can you recover your health.

Drug treatment

After the test results come out, medication should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. There are oral medications and topical medications. These must be done under the doctor's orders and you cannot take the medicine at will. Topical medications are usually taken before bedtime, allowing the drug to stay longer and thus achieve the therapeutic effect.
