Examination and treatment of black and sticky vaginal discharge

Black and sticky vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean a gynecological disease. In fact, black vaginal discharge will appear 1-2 days before and after the menstrual period. It is not that the vaginal discharge is really black, but that there is residual menstrual blood in the vaginal discharge. However, black and sticky vaginal discharge outside the menstrual period is also a symptom of abnormal vaginal discharge. At this time, we need to take certain inspection and treatment measures to prescribe the right remedy. Now I will explain to you how to check and treat black and sticky leucorrhea.

1. Physical examination. The doctor will examine from the outside to the inside, first visually inspecting the vulva, urethra, paraurethral glands and Bartholin's glands, and then using a vaginal speculum to observe the vaginal wall and cervix.

2. Laboratory examination.

1. pH value determination: Using paper strips to measure the pH value of vaginal discharge has certain value for diagnosis. The pH value of normal vaginal discharge is ≤4.5, while the pH value of discharge caused by Trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis increases.

2. The smell of amines: Doctors will test patients with excessive vaginal discharge to see if there is an amine smell. The leucorrhea of ​​bacterial vaginosis may have a fishy odor, which is caused by the volatilization of amines present in the discharge through alkalinization. This situation occasionally occurs in trichomoniasis leucorrhea, while normal leucorrhea and Candida leucorrhea do not have this amine odor.

3. Microbial culture.

3. Equipment inspection. Observe the leucorrhea under a microscope. The correct diagnosis is more easily obtained with clues from the appearance of the discharge and observation under a microscope.

4. Drug treatment. The drugs mainly use some Chinese patent medicines, and the treatment needs to be persisted. It can be used in conjunction with physical therapy. The effect of physical therapy can dissipate local edema, soften scars, promote intestinal peristalsis, promote blood circulation, and greatly improve local lesions.

The above points are one of the methods to check and treat black and sticky leucorrhea. In life, female patients should pay attention to hygiene and maintain a good sex life. Once abnormal leucorrhea is found, medical treatment should be sought in time. The longer the delay, the more serious the disease will be. In addition, paying attention to personal hygiene is the key for women to prevent gynecological diseases.
