Gynecological diseases: What is the cause of increased leucorrhea?

Whether a woman's leucorrhea is normal can better explain whether she has some gynecological diseases. You should know that a normal leucorrhea is colorless, odorless, and transparent. However, if it violates this condition, it means that there are some gynecological diseases in the woman's body, and such diseases are a constant threat to women's health, so we must understand some common sense about leucorrhea.

Leucorrhea is a kind of sticky white liquid secreted from the vagina of mature women. Its main components include endometrium, glandular secretions and vaginal epithelial cells. The production of female leucorrhea is closely related to the level of estrogen production in the female body. Generally, girls who have not yet fully developed and matured before puberty do not have leucorrhea. In other words, leucorrhea is unique to mature women. When women pass puberty, the function of the ovaries gradually develops and matures, and there is normal production of estrogen in the body, leucorrhea will be produced. Female leucorrhea contains lactobacillus and antibodies, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Generally speaking, increased vaginal discharge in women is often more obvious in the following aspects. For example, during sexual intercourse, women's vaginal discharge will increase, which is a normal physiological reaction of women. Increased vaginal discharge during sexual intercourse will effectively lubricate the vagina and facilitate the smooth sexual life of couples. Before the ovulation period, the level of estrogen in the female body increases, which will cause the increase of mucus secretion in the cervix, accompanied by a significant increase in vaginal discharge. After giving birth, women often experience increased vaginal discharge due to a series of physiological changes. Under normal circumstances, the amount of vaginal discharge depends on the level of estrogen in the female body. Women do not need to worry too much about these normal vaginal discharge secretions and increased vaginal discharge. These are often manifestations of women's healthy physiology, and there is no need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

However, if some women have increased leucorrhea, and if their leucorrhea has a distinct odor, obvious changes in color, or obvious changes in texture, it often indicates that the woman has some diseases. For example, if a woman's leucorrhea is particularly large and clear, she may have vaginitis or cervical erosion; if a woman's leucorrhea has a fishy odor, is white and yellow and foamy, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, she may have trichomonal vaginitis; if a woman's leucorrhea has blood, especially after sexual contact, it cannot be ruled out that she has cervical cancer, cervical polyps, and other diseases. These are all pathological leucorrhea.

Regardless of whether the leucorrhea is abnormal due to physiological or pathological reasons, women must take it seriously, because in most cases, many gynecological diseases are caused by their own lack of attention. Once we find abnormal leucorrhea, we must pay attention to the treatment and strive to restore health as soon as possible.
