Is it really painful to have a routine vaginal discharge check?

Leucorrhea is a barometer of women's health. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is white and transparent, without any odor. If the color and shape of leucorrhea change, it needs to be taken seriously, indicating that the health is also affected. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a routine examination of leucorrhea. However, many women do not understand the routine examination of leucorrhea and worry that it is painful. Is it really painful?

Routine examination of leucorrhea mainly involves collecting secretions from the female vagina through medical devices such as dilators, and then conducting laboratory tests to determine whether there are any abnormal pathological conditions. Routine examination of leucorrhea will not cause obvious pain, so women who need to be examined do not need to worry too much. Relatively speaking, vaginal ultrasound examination may cause more obvious discomfort than routine leucorrhea examination, but it generally does not cause obvious pain. Moreover, the two examination methods are different, and their significance for diagnosing diseases is also different. Therefore, women who need a physical examination should undergo relevant examinations according to the doctor's advice.

What are the items in the routine examination of leucorrhea?

First, check the pH value: We all know that the normal female vagina is slightly acidic, and the normal value should be 4.5

The second is the vaginal cleanliness examination: the vaginal cleanliness examination is generally divided into four degrees. Grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ are normal, and grades Ⅲ to Ⅳ are abnormal leucorrhea. Amine test is also one of the important inspection items. If the reaction is positive, a corresponding judgment can be made.

The purpose of fungal and Trichomonas tests is to determine which type of vaginitis a woman has. When "+" is written on the test sheet, it means that she has been infected with Trichomonas or fungi. In addition, there is a clue cell test, which is a direct method to check bacterial vaginosis.
