What is the cause of abnormal watery leucorrhea?

Abnormal watery leucorrhea may be caused by a variety of reasons, the most common of which are vaginitis, cervicitis or hormone level fluctuations. If accompanied by symptoms such as odor, itching or abdominal pain, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible and treat the symptoms after the cause is determined.

Leucorrhea is a "barometer" of the health of the female reproductive system. Under normal circumstances, it is transparent or milky white, slightly viscous, and has no odor. When the leucorrhea becomes as thin as water and the amount increases significantly, it may be a signal of health from the body. Vaginitis is one of the common causes, especially bacterial vaginitis or Trichomonas vaginitis, which can cause an increase in leucorrhea and an odor. Cervicitis may also cause abnormal leucorrhea, especially chronic cervicitis, and the leucorrhea may be watery or contain blood. Changes in hormone levels, such as during ovulation or pregnancy, may also lead to an increase in leucorrhea, but this condition is usually temporary.

If the vaginal discharge is abnormally watery and accompanied by vulvar itching, burning sensation, odor or lower abdominal pain, you need to be alert to the possibility of infection. Bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections may cause these symptoms. For example, the vaginal discharge of trichomoniasis may be yellow-green and foamy; the vaginal discharge of candidal vaginitis may be like tofu dregs. Cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease may also cause increased vaginal discharge, accompanied by backache or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen.

In order to prevent and improve abnormal vaginal discharge, you can pay attention to the following points in your daily life: keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid using irritating lotions; wear cotton underwear, avoid tight clothing; eat less spicy and irritating food, eat more vitamin-rich foods, and enhance immunity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, and clarify the cause through gynecological examinations, routine vaginal discharge examinations, etc., to avoid delaying treatment.
