Why do I still have vaginal discharge after menopause?

In healthy women, more vaginal discharge is directly proportional to the increase in estrogen levels in the body. For example, if there is a lot of leucorrhea during ovulation or pregnancy, when the uterine wall grows too long, or after using estrogen drugs, similar leucorrhea may occur. Why is there discharge after menopause?

The following is a detailed introduction to the four major causes of excessive vaginal discharge:

1. One of the reasons for excessive leucorrhea after menopause is estrogen. When the vaginal mucosa proliferates after menopause and the secretions appear the same as during the childbearing age, it usually reminds the body that there is estrogen. In clinical medicine, it is occasionally found that after menopause, the ovarian follicles in the uterus grow and develop again and secrete estrogen. However, it is also important to note that some uterine and ovarian tumors and adrenal tumors can also secrete growth hormone, which are medically called multifunctional tumors. Female hormones should be measured and necessary tests done to remove the tumor.

2. The second reason for excessive leucorrhea after menopause is senile vaginitis: after menopause, the vaginal mucosa becomes soft, and its ability to resist infection and friction is greatly reduced, making it easy to be infected by pathogens. When there is a lot of vaginal discharge after menopause, accompanied by itching, burning sensation, and even tenderness, it often reminds you of vaginitis in the elderly.

3. The third reason for excessive vaginal discharge after menopause is pathological factors. With the improvement of living standards, the elderly use more health-preserving foods. Many longevity and nutritional medicines contain growth hormone components. There are often too many exogenous kidney drugs in tonic Chinese medicines. These can cause excessive vaginal discharge after menopause.

4. The fourth reason for excessive leucorrhea after menopause is gynecological tumors: If women with excessive leucorrhea after menopause have brown leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea or dregs of leucorrhea and the actual effect of medication is not good, gynecological tumors should be considered.
