Why does leucorrhea turn white?

Leucorrhea is generally an important reference for measuring whether a woman is healthy or not. Strictly speaking, as long as there are some abnormal symptoms in leucorrhea, most of them are a positive reaction of the female body. If the leucorrhea appears white, it is also a signal sent by the body. The editor here has collected some reasons for the white leucorrhea and how to diagnose it. I hope it will be of certain reference value to the majority of female friends.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

White vaginal discharge in women accompanied by systemic or local symptoms is called pathological leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by physical weakness or phlegm and dampness, equivalent to vaginitis in Western medicine. However, routine examination of white vaginal discharge often cannot find the pathogenic bacteria.

1. Causes of white vaginal discharge:

1. Spleen deficiency: Spleen deficiency or spleen damage caused by food, or phlegm and dampness blocking the spleen. Spleen deficiency causes dampness, and the belt meridian fails to function properly, causing dampness and turbidity to flow downward, resulting in abnormal leucorrhea.

2. Kidney deficiency: People with kidney deficiency, or those who have frequent sexual intercourse and give birth to multiple children will damage the kidneys. Kidney deficiency will cause the belt meridian to be weak, resulting in white discharge.

2. Key points for diagnosing white vaginal discharge in women:

1. The diagnosis is based on the fact that the vaginal discharge is white, like mucus or saliva, and has no fishy smell. No pathogenic bacteria were found in the leucorrhea test.

2. Differentiate from the okara-like white discharge of fungal vaginitis.

3. Dialectical classification of white vaginal discharge in women:

1. Spleen deficiency is characterized by mostly white urine, which is thin and not smelly, pale complexion, fatigue, poor appetite, loose bowels, or obesity. The tongue coating is thin, the tongue is pale and plump, and the pulse is thin and fine.

2. Kidney deficiency is characterized by white and clear discharge like water, sore waist and weak knees, dizziness, fatigue, cold limbs, loose stools and frequent urination. The tongue coating is thin and the pulse is deep and fine.

Some women always think that white leucorrhea is normal. After reading the above introduction, I believe you must understand the reason why white leucorrhea occurs. If the phenomenon of white leucorrhea occurs, it is best to take certain measures in time and go to the hospital for a detailed leucorrhea examination and respond actively. As a woman, it is best to pay attention to yourself at all times and do not ignore some signals sent by the body.
