What's up with the jelly-like gel in vaginal discharge?

I believe everyone has seen and eaten jelly. It is not only sweet but also delicious. It is loved not only by children but also by the elderly. Let’s not talk about whether jelly is healthy after consumption, but let’s talk about whether it is normal if a woman’s leucorrhea becomes like jelly? If jelly-like gel appears in leucorrhea, what is the most correct way to deal with it?

Leucorrhea is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. After marriage, leucorrhea can also lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse. Generally in the middle of the menstrual period, due to the vigorous secretion of cervical endometrial glandular cells, the amount of leucorrhea may increase, and it will be like egg white, thin and transparent. Pelvic congestion and increased vaginal mucosal exudate before and after menstruation are all normal changes.

When the color, taste and properties of leucorrhea change, it means that there is something abnormal in the leucorrhea and should be taken seriously. The appearance of jelly-like leucorrhea often indicates that you are suffering from candidal vaginitis. At this time, the patient may also see congestion of the vaginal wall. In severe cases, the vulva is red and swollen, and the vaginal mucosa is covered with a white film. After wiping off the white film, you can see rough, red and swollen, damaged erosive surfaces and superficial ulcers. The patient may feel itching and burning pain in the vulva.

Laboratory examination revealed oval spores connected in a beaded or tree-like shape. If candidal vaginitis is not treated promptly and effectively, it will not only invade the cervix and uterine cavity, causing cervicitis, salpingitis, oophoritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., but will also cause infertility. Therefore, women with jelly-like leucorrhea are reminded to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and receive targeted treatment after confirming that it is candidal vaginitis to avoid more serious harm.
