What causes white stuff in the vagina?

Many women find some white lumps in their vagina, which may be caused by abnormal leucorrhea. It may be related to the fact that they do not pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the vulva in normal times. Let me tell you that there are many reasons for abnormal leucorrhea. The following editor will introduce some specific reasons that are often prone to abnormal leucorrhea in women.

The first reason is cyclical: as the girl matures, 2-3 days after ovulation, the leucorrhea gradually becomes thicker and turbid, and the amount will decrease accordingly.

The second reason is stress: long-term stress can also affect endocrine disorders, leading to increased vaginal discharge in women.

The third reason is pregnancy: the secretion of sex hormones increases during pregnancy, which can also cause women to have more vaginal discharge.

The fourth reason is pathological: physiological changes. The following diseases will lead to increased vaginal discharge, bringing many inconveniences to our lives.

1. Pelvic inflammation

Generally speaking, normal leucorrhea should be colorless and odorless, and at the same time, transparent and viscous like egg white. This is considered normal leucorrhea. However, although many women seem to have abnormal leucorrhea, they actually have the characteristics of large amount and long duration. Except for menstruation, they have a large amount of clear leucorrhea that wets their underwear almost every day. Once this happens, female friends should pay attention, because at this time you may have a gynecological disease.

In addition, many women also have symptoms such as low back pain or lower abdominal pain. By linking these symptoms together, it is not difficult to find that these are common symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, women should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible at this time. Early treatment can prevent the further development of the disease.

2. Trichomonas infection

Some women also have purulent leucorrhea with a fishy smell, or thin, watery leucorrhea with pus, accompanied by occasional vulvar itching symptoms. Both of these symptoms indicate that you are likely to have a trichomoniasis or purulent bacterial infection. At this time, female friends should go to the hospital as soon as possible for further examination and then receive active treatment. Women should be responsible for their own health.

In addition, there is another situation in which the leucorrhea is bean curd-like or curd-like, and there is also unbearable itching of the vulva. Even in public, you can't help rubbing the vulva with your hands to relieve the itching. These symptoms indicate that you are likely to be infected with Candida albicans. If these symptoms occur, you should seek examination and treatment as soon as possible.

3. Uterine fibroids

Many women's leucorrhea is mainly yellow or slightly red like fish washing water, and is accompanied by a foul smell. Most of these leucorrhea are caused by necrosis or degeneration of certain tissues. In addition to the above symptoms, the amount of leucorrhea will suddenly increase, and even sanitary pads will be needed. Female friends should pay attention to this and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and rule out submucosal uterine fibroids, uterine body cancer, cervical cancer, etc.

Therefore, for most girls, they must pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and observe any abnormalities of the vulva. When vaginal itching and abnormal leucorrhea occur, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to avoid some serious gynecological diseases that may threaten women's health or even life.
