All women have abnormal vaginal discharge

Abnormal vaginal discharge does not occur in all women, but it is indeed a common gynecological problem. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be caused by a variety of reasons, including infection, hormonal changes, lifestyle habits, etc. Abnormal vaginal discharge can be solved by improving lifestyle habits, taking medication, or seeing a doctor for examination.

1. Infection

Bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis or trichomonas vaginitis are common causes of abnormal vaginal discharge. Bacterial vaginitis usually manifests as grayish white vaginal discharge with a fishy smell; candidal vaginitis causes vaginal discharge to be like tofu dregs and accompanied by itching; trichomonas vaginitis causes vaginal discharge to be yellow-green and foamy.

- Treatment methods:

- Bacterial vaginosis: oral metronidazole or topical clindamycin ointment.

- Vaginal candidiasis: Use clotrimazole suppositories or oral fluconazole.

- Trichomonas vaginitis: oral metronidazole or tinidazole.

2. Hormone changes

During the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause, the fluctuation of hormone levels in women may cause the amount of vaginal discharge to increase or change in properties. For example, during ovulation, vaginal discharge is usually transparent and stringy, while during pregnancy, the amount of vaginal discharge may increase and become thicker.

- Improvement methods:

-Keep your vulva clean and use mild cleansing products.

- Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing.

- Eat more foods rich in vitamin B and probiotics, such as yogurt and whole grains.

3. Lifestyle

Bad living habits, such as sitting for long periods of time, staying up late, and irregular diet, may affect immunity and increase the risk of infection. Excessive cleaning or the use of irritating washes may also disrupt the balance of vaginal microecology and lead to abnormal leucorrhea.

-Adjustment suggestions:

-Avoid sitting for long periods of time and do some exercise, such as taking a 30-minute walk or practicing yoga every day.

- Get enough sleep, 7-8 hours per night.

-Avoid using lotions containing fragrances or chemical ingredients, and choose warm water to wash the vulva.

4. Pathological factors

Diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or endometritis may also cause abnormal vaginal discharge. These diseases are usually accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever, and you need to seek medical attention in time.

- Medical advice:

-Cervicitis: Your doctor may recommend antibiotics or physical therapy.

- Pelvic inflammatory disease: Treat with oral antibiotics or intravenous antibiotics.

-Endometritis: antibiotic treatment combined with rest.

Although abnormal vaginal discharge is common, it should not be ignored. If the color, smell or amount of vaginal discharge changes significantly and is accompanied by discomfort, you should seek medical attention in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and hygiene habits can help prevent the occurrence of abnormal vaginal discharge.
