What is the reason for vaginal discharge that looks like tofu dregs and is accompanied by vulvar itching?

Women's leucorrhea often has some abnormal conditions. For example, leucorrhea appears to be in the shape of tofu dregs. This may be caused by vaginitis. If it is accompanied by vulvar itching, it is mostly due to fungal infection. The typical symptoms of vaginitis are vulvar itching and abnormal leucorrhea. If such conditions occur, timely treatment is required.

1. Cause

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.

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

2. 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.

6. Keep a happy mood

Keeping a happy mood is also a good way to enhance immunity. In addition, your daily life and work schedule should be normal so that the immune system can function normally.
