Abnormal vaginal discharge also occurs in our daily lives and poses serious harm to women. We must clarify the causes and take reasonable prevention measures.
Causes of abnormal vaginal discharge
1. Not changing underwear, unclean private areas: Many women do not have the habit of changing underwear, or do not bask in the sun after washing underwear. For a long time, bacteria and dirt have entered the vagina, damaging the normal ecology of the vagina, and abnormal vaginal discharge.
2. Long term use of mats: Some women often use mats to alleviate their daily tasks because they are not good at changing underwear. Unexpectedly, the breathability of the sanitary pad is poor, and the vagina is exposed to a humid environment for a long time. The balance of the vagina is easily disrupted, and the vagina is prone to infection with pathogenic bacteria, resulting in abnormal vaginal discharge.
3. Frequent use of cleaning solution: Some women place too much emphasis on cool hygiene, so they often use cleaning solution to clean the cool area. Overcleaning can actually cause disorder in vaginal discharge. The vagina has a self-cleaning effect, and the cleaning solution can clean the bacteria in the external genitalia, but it can also kill lactobacilli in the vagina. Frequent use of cleaning fluids can disrupt the microbiota balance of the vagina and can actually lead to abnormal vaginal discharge.
4. Vaginal trichomonas infection: Vaginal trichomonas infection can cause itching and pain in the external genitalia of women. At this time, the vaginal discharge is watery, and most importantly, it has a foul odor.
5. Candida albicans infection: Candida albicans is a mold that causes dampness in the genital area and is prone to infection with this pathogen. The patient may experience severe itching in the genital area and secrete cheese like vaginal discharge, making the vagina dry and astringent.
6. Chlamydia infection: After women are infected with Chlamydia, their vaginal discharge appears purulent and the taste is also very unpleasant.
7. Gonorrhea infection: Gonorrhea infection is similar to chlamydia infection. The patient's leucorrhea was chartreuse purulent leucorrhea.
Abnormal hazards of vaginal discharge
1. Normal vaginal discharge may have a fishy or odorless odor, but there is no foul odor. It is generally liquid, transparent white or milky white, lubricates the vagina, keeps the vestibular area warm and comfortable, and has no irritation to the mucosa and skin.
