What causes increased leucorrhea in gynecological diseases?

The secretion of leucorrhea is a very normal phenomenon for women. It is another body fluid secreted by women besides sweat. Its secretion often also indicates various gynecological diseases in women. If the secretion of leucorrhea is abnormal, it means that the woman has been infected with some gynecological disease. For example, increased vaginal discharge is a common symptom of gynecological problems. Its occurrence represents many reasons. Let us learn about them today.

Physiological changes: approaching menstruation. In the one or two weeks before menstruation, women will experience an increase in vaginal discharge. This is a physiological factor and there is no need to worry.

Pathological changes: In addition to increased vaginal discharge, there are also some other changes. If there are pathological changes, in addition to the increase in vaginal discharge, there may be abnormalities in color and odor. At this time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. Yellow leucorrhea. Most of them are due to bacterial infection. Gonorrhea, tuberculosis, etc. may be the cause of the disease. Treponema pallidum can also cause purulent infection of the vagina. If a large amount of leucorrhea with a special odor is discharged from the vagina, you should suspect whether there is a foreign object in the vagina, which causes increased leucorrhea and serious infection.

2. Watery leucorrhea. In the early stages of malignant tumors, uterine cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc., there will be an increase in leucorrhea.

3. Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea. It is the same as egg white or slightly turbid, and there will be an increase in leucorrhea. However, there are rarely other symptoms. This type of leucorrhea is mostly seen in chronic cervicitis, endocervicitis and after the use of estrogen.

4. Bloody leucorrhea. Bloody leucorrhea means that there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea. The appearance of this leucorrhea may be cervical cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal tumors, etc., and you should be alert to the occurrence of malignant tumors. Some benign diseases such as senile vaginitis and cervical erosion may also cause this leucorrhea.

5. Yellow mucous leucorrhea. Caused by cervical erosion, chronic cervicitis, etc.

From the various situations described above, we clearly know the various abnormal manifestations of increased leucorrhea. Once there is an abnormal increase in vaginal discharge, it is a symptom of gynecological disease. We must not ignore this phenomenon. We must go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to try to nip minor illnesses in the bud and avoid causing bigger diseases.
