Patient's question:
Abnormal amount of leukorrhea, transparent leukorrhea, resembling egg white in consistency, sticky, and able to stretch into threads. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of increased vaginal discharge:1. During candidal vulvovaginitis, the discharge is yellow or white, mostly viscous, sometimes thin, and typically appears like cottage cheese or creamy clumps.
2. In trichomoniasis, the discharge is thin and purulent, yellow, foamy, or like dirty water (greyish-white), with a foul odor.
3. With cervical erosion, the discharge is usually yellow, viscous like mucus, and mostly odorless.
4. In gonorrhea, the discharge is yellow and purulent.
5. During endometritis or other pelvic inflammatory diseases, the discharge may increase, becoming yellow and thin, often accompanied by abdominal pain.
6. With fallopian tube cancer, due to tumor stimulation of epithelial fluid leakage and necrotic tissue, watery discharge may occur continuously.
It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment, while also paying attention to local hygiene.
