What is the cause of foamy leucorrhea?

We all know that leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. Normal leucorrhea is colorless and transparent. However, if the body suffers from certain gynecological diseases, it will often show up in the leucorrhea. So what is the foamy leucorrhea? This phenomenon should arouse everyone's vigilance. If it is foamy leucorrhea, it is possible that you have Trichomonas vaginitis. This type of inflammation is also accompanied by itching symptoms, which makes it easier to judge.

If your leucorrhea is foamy, beware of Trichomonas vaginitis:

1. The initial clinical manifestations of patients with Trichomonas vaginitis are usually manifested in abnormal leucorrhea in women. Patients with Trichomonas vaginitis clinically have symptoms of foamy leucorrhea with odor, and it is not uncommon for the leucorrhea to be gray-yellow or yellow-green in color or watery. It is recommended that women with abnormal leucorrhea actively receive professional gynecological diagnosis and treatment to avoid the spread of inflammation.

2. In addition, there is a burning sensation or itching around the female genitals, especially the vulva, such as the labia, perineum, and anus, as if small insects are crawling, making people restless, scratching involuntarily, and causing local dermatitis. Secondly, during sexual intercourse, you will feel discomfort and pain in the genitals, and some may even bleed. In severe cases, you may develop Trichomonas urethritis, cystitis, and even ascending infection leading to pyelonephritis, followed by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, and low back pain.

3. Trichomonas infection is usually transmitted through direct contact. If the woman has trichomoniasis, during sexual intercourse, the Trichomonas will adhere to the surface of the male genitals along with the secretions and enter the urethra. Similarly, Trichomonas in the male urethra can enter the female vagina with semen. Trichomonas can also be transmitted indirectly, such as through bathtubs, toilets, bath towels, underwear, etc. used by patients. A healthy person's genitals may be infected as long as they come into contact with secretions on them. In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that swimming pools are also one of the places where Trichomonas is transmitted.

To prevent Trichomonas vaginitis, the following measures can be taken according to the living habits and transmission routes of Trichomonas:

Pay attention to hygiene, develop good habits of taking frequent baths and changing underwear frequently. Foot basins and bath towels should be used by one person only, and should be washed, dried and disinfected frequently. Pregnant women should pay special attention to health care before, during and after menstruation.
