Patient's question:
I initially had thin white discharge at the beginning of this year. After treating it for a period of time, tests showed no trichomonas, mold, or anaerobic bacteria in the white discharge, but there were white blood cells. The doctor said it was severe cervical inflammation. I want to ask if cervical inflammation can cause abnormal white discharge?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea is secreted by the vagina and cervix, and an increase in leukorrhea can occur if either the vagina or cervix becomes inflamed again. The thinning of leukorrhea is related not only to inflammation but also to the menstrual cycle. Just after menstruation ends, the amount of leukorrhea is very small, but as time passes, the amount gradually increases, and the consistency becomes increasingly thin. Around the middle of the menstrual cycle, which is the ovulation period, the amount of leukorrhea is abundant, with long strands and a consistency like egg white. Afterward, the amount of leukorrhea increases again and becomes relatively thick. There are several treatment methods for cervicitis, but the specific approach depends on the patient's symptoms.
