What is the method to check for increased leucorrhea and what should I do?

Leucorrhea problems are subtle and troublesome, and each one is distressing and painful. When the problem of increased vaginal discharge occurs, everyone is confused about why. Some people are too shy to explore it, while some people will take responsibility for their own health and go to the hospital for examination. So what should be checked for increased vaginal discharge? Next, let us take a look at how to check for increased vaginal discharge.

To check whether the leucorrhea is normal, you need to observe the amount, color, texture and smell.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are proliferated, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear in color, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn.

In addition, there are also some physiological phenomena such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.

Candida albicans infection: Candida albicans is a type of fungus with extremely strong vitality and prefers warm and humid environments. Pregnant women have more vaginal secretions and contain more sugar, which makes it easy for Candida albicans to multiply. Therefore, pregnant women are particularly susceptible to Candida albicans infection, and once infected, it is not easy to cure.

The above content is the relevant examination for increased leucorrhea. Once you get sick, no matter whether it is a major or minor illness, it will be very troublesome. The best way to cure it is to be careful and take more precautions in daily life. However, an increase in vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean there is a gynecological disease. An increase in vaginal discharge may occur due to stimulation from taking certain medications or before or after menstruation. It is recommended that you get a check-up just in case.
