1, the role of leucorrhea
Leucorrhea contains lactic acid bacteria, lysozyme and antibodies, so it can inhibit the growth of bacteria. During sexual intercourse, leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate women's private parts and be beneficial to sexual life. Generally, leucorrhea increases in the middle period of menstruation, which is thin and transparent; Leucorrhea becomes sticky, turbid and less after ovulation. Leucorrhea increases before menstruation and during pregnancy.
The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen, so girls before puberty generally have no leucorrhea. After puberty, the ovary begins to develop, secreting estrogen to promote the development of reproductive organs, and then leucorrhea begins to appear. In each menstrual cycle, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea also change due to the secretion of estrogen more or less.
Generally, the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak in the middle of two menstrual periods (equivalent to ovulation). Too much estrogen stimulates the cervical glands to secrete more mucus, so the leucorrhea at this time is large and transparent, sticky as egg white and can be pulled into filaments, and women's private parts have a moist feeling.
Appropriate leucorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon, and the normal state should be like translucent egg white, which has the functions of nourishing female private parts, excreting waste and killing germs. If leucorrhea is obviously reduced or lacking, there will be symptoms such as dryness, burning pain, decreased desire, discomfort or difficulty in the same room, dizziness, tinnitus, weakness of lower limbs, irritability and thinning hair.
Long-term leucorrhea is too little, the self-defense function of female private parts is weakened, and women are easy to be infected with inflammation of female private parts. Generally speaking, too little leucorrhea is caused by ovarian dysfunction or decline and low level of sex hormones. It is common in patients with frequent abortions (special interviews and consultations), long breastfeeding time, long-term mental trauma and various chronic diseases, such as chronic hepatitis, chronic nephritis, diabetes and hypothyroidism. After entering menopause, due to the gradual atrophy and loss of ovarian function, leucorrhea may also be lacking. Decreased leucorrhea secretion should be treated actively.
The secretion caused by chronic diseases is too little. At the same time, we should strengthen our physique, pay attention to supplement protein and vitamins, and enhance hormone secretion. The decrease of leucorrhea caused by other reasons can be treated by local intermittent use of estrogen ointment in female private parts.
2. Abnormal symptoms of leucorrhea
Normal leucorrhea: white and thin paste, tasteless. Generally around the physiological period, ovulation and pregnancy are more, like egg white, thin and transparent. Before and after menstruation, pelvic congestion and increased mucosal exudate in female private parts are normal changes. If there are no other symptoms, it belongs to "physiological leucorrhea".
Abnormal leucorrhea: If the color, quality and quantity of leucorrhea change abnormally, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. Abnormal leucorrhea always has a reason, and abnormal leucorrhea caused by different diseases is also different. Clinically common "pathological leucorrhea" are:
1. Colorless pasty leucorrhea: leucorrhea is mushy and sticky, and often sticks to underwear. Patients have no other symptoms except backache, and most of them are chronic endocarditis, ovarian dysfunction, female genital adenopathy or well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the cervix. In addition, women who use estrogen preparations more can also have this kind of leucorrhea.
2. Bean dreg-like leucorrhea: There are a lot of leucorrhea, which is flocculent like bean dregs, often accompanied by itching in female private parts, mostly caused by mold infection or diabetes in female private parts.
3. Leucorrhea curl: It is a feature of female genital inflammation of Candida, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.
4. Gray homogeneous fishy leucorrhea: common in bacterial female private parts.
5. Purulent leucorrhea: leucorrhea is yellow or green, and it smells bad. Acute female genital inflammation, cervicitis and cervicitis caused by trichomonas or Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all be caused.
6. Bloody leucorrhea: mixed leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyp or submucosal myoma should be considered. Placement of intrauterine devices can also cause bloody leucorrhea.
7. Water-like leucorrhea: Water-like leucorrhea continuously flows out from the washed rice. Those with strange smell are generally advanced cervical cancer, female private part cancer or submucosal myoma with infection. Paroxysmal discharge of yellow or red watery leucorrhea should pay attention to the possibility of tubal cancer.
8. Foamy leucorrhea: leucorrhea is white or grayish yellow foam, with a large amount, accompanied by itching of vulva and female private parts, which is the characteristic of trichomonas female private parts inflammation. This is because the bath water is unclean and infected with trichomonas. This disease is often caused by itching, scratching, purulent and lovely infection of female private parts, and leucorrhea turns into yellow pus foam.
