Is abnormal vaginal discharge life-threatening?

Abnormal vaginal discharge usually does not directly endanger life, but if it persists and is not treated in time, it may lead to related complications. It is recommended to check with a doctor.

Leucorrhea is a barometer of women's health, reflecting the state of the reproductive system. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is colorless or milky white, has no irritating odor, and is moderate in amount. However, if there are abnormal changes in color, odor, or amount, it may indicate infection, inflammation, or other health problems.

For example, yellow leucorrhea with a peculiar smell may be related to inflammation such as vaginitis and cervicitis; grayish white foamy leucorrhea may indicate trichomonas infection; bloody leucorrhea requires special attention, as it may be a sign of some cervical or uterine diseases. In these cases, ignoring or self-medication may delay the disease.

To avoid risks, it is recommended to pay attention to private cleaning on a daily basis and avoid excessive use of washing liquid and other products. When abnormal vaginal discharge is found, do not self-diagnose or ignore it. Go to the hospital as soon as possible to have a professional doctor identify the cause and treat it, so as to effectively protect the health of the reproductive system.
