Is there white tofu residue on a woman's private parts caused by bacteria?

There are more and more gynecological diseases in women. Many women often suffer from inflammation due to gynecological diseases, which eventually cause physical problems. Therefore, women's gynecological diseases must be taken seriously. There are many types of gynecological diseases in women. Some women often feel itching in their lower body and have white tofu-like secretions. In this case, they need to go to the hospital for a leucorrhea test to check whether there are any bacterial components.

Causes

Tofu-like leucorrhea is a typical fungal infection. Vaginal candidiasis is a common vaginal inflammation in gynecology, which is classified as "vaginal itch" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is prone to relapse. The causes of candidal vaginitis are increased glycogen in the vagina, increased acidity, and massive reproduction of Candida albicans among the fungi.

Once discovered, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and take a sample of leucorrhea for testing to eliminate the cause. You can take 500,000 units of nystatin tablets orally three times a day, for a course of 7 days.

Candidal vaginitis needs to be treated by both husband and wife, and gay men are advised to pay attention to this.

harm

Generally speaking, abnormal leucorrhea is caused by gynecological diseases. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. The amount and texture of leucorrhea are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses. This white secretion is characterized by being white, thick, and resembling curd or tofu dregs, because it is made up of desquamated epithelial cells and mycelium, yeast, and pseudohyphae. The main cause of this leucorrhea symptom is the imbalance of Candida in the vagina. Leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is very harmful, so don't take it lightly. The most likely cause of leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is candidal vaginitis. Leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is a typical feature of candidal vaginitis, which is often caused by Candida albicans infection and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi. Leucorrhea that is in the form of tofu residue may also be a dangerous sign of other cervical diseases or vaginal diseases. If treatment is not timely, serious sequelae may occur, such as gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Many middle-aged women who get cancer do so because they did not pay attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young.

prevention

1. Do not over-clean the vagina

Under normal circumstances, our vagina will maintain the balance of acidity and alkalinity by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergents or disinfectants, or even scrub it excessively. This may not only disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment, but may also cause vaginal damage. So usually just rinse it with warm water.

2. Wear breathable cotton pants

Try to wear ventilated cotton underwear and underwear to keep dry. If you don’t have much secretion, try not to use sanitary pads. If you do use them, be sure to change them frequently to avoid bacterial growth.

3. Eat less irritating food

Under normal circumstances, our natural immune system will automatically deal with these invading bacteria, so we should have a healthy and balanced diet, eat less irritating foods, and allow the immune system to function normally.

4. Do not abuse antibiotics

The use of antibiotics must be approved and prescribed by a doctor, because although antibiotics can kill bacteria, they will promote the growth of mold, so never abuse antibiotics.

5. Normal and simple sex life

Many vaginal diseases are transmitted through sexual intercourse. If you have too many sexual partners, it is difficult to control whether you are infected. Therefore, as long as your sexual life is simple, the chance of contracting specific vaginal (diseases) will be greatly reduced.
