What are the causes of high leukocyte count in gynecology?

When a woman has sex after marriage, the bacteria in the man's body will enter the woman's body and cause gynecological diseases. This is related to the woman's menstruation and leucorrhea. Gynecological leukocytes are a type of cell in the uterus of the female body. This type of white blood cell will pass through the female body to judge whether the female body is healthy. So what is the reason for high gynecological leukocytes? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical and endometrial gland secretions, and its formation is related to the action of estrogen. The general routine leucorrhea test list has the following 6 test items:

1. pH value: After puberty, due to the stimulation of ovarian sex hormones, the mucosal epithelial cells contain rich animal starch, which is decomposed by vaginal lactobacilli into lactic acid, making the vaginal secretions weakly acidic, which can prevent pathogenic bacteria from multiplying in the vagina. This is the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The pH value is often used to indicate the acidity and alkalinity in laboratory tests. The normal pH is 4.5. When suffering from trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginitis, the pH value of leucorrhea increases and may be greater than 5-6.

2. Vaginal cleanliness can be divided into 4 levels:

Grade I: A large number of vaginal epithelial cells and vaginal bacilli are seen under the microscope.

Grade II: Vaginal epithelial cells, a small amount of white blood cells, some vaginal bacilli, and a small amount of miscellaneous bacteria or pus cells are seen under the microscope.

Grade III: A small amount of vaginal bacilli, a large number of pus cells and miscellaneous bacteria are seen under the microscope.

Grade IV: No vaginal bacilli are seen under the microscope, and except for a small amount of epithelial cells, there are mainly pus cells and miscellaneous bacteria.

Grades I to II are normal, while grades III to IV are abnormal leucorrhea, indicating vaginal inflammation.

3. Fungus and Trichomonas After the leucorrhea is processed, the presence of Trichomonas or fungi can be detected based on its morphology under a microscope. If Trichomonas or fungi are present, regardless of the number, they will be indicated by "+". The "+" symbol only means that the woman is infected with Trichomonas or fungi, and does not indicate the severity of the infection.

4. Amine test: The leucorrhea of ​​patients with bacterial vaginosis may have a fishy odor, which is caused by the amines in the leucorrhea being volatilized after being alkalized with potassium hydroxide.

5. Clue cells: Clue cells refer to the many bacilli aggregated at the edge of the vaginal epithelial cells in patients with bacterial vaginosis. In the hanging drop smear, the edges of the vaginal epithelial cells are granular or stippled, making them unclear. These are clue cells. They are the most sensitive and specific sign of bacterial vaginosis. Clinicians can make a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on a positive amine test and the presence of clue cells.

The above is a specific description of the reasons for high gynecological white blood cell count. Women should care about their reproductive health and keep themselves clean. They should pay special attention to cleaning the vulva, keep their underwear clean and fresh, change their underwear frequently to keep them clean. In addition, they should also pay more attention to their diet. It is not advisable to eat too much cold food and do more health-preserving exercises.
