Patient's question:
The physical examination results show vaginal congestion, with moderate white discharge. Other findings are normal. Is it vaginitis??Doctor's answer:
The normal components of leukorrhea consist of secretions from the vaginal mucosa, cervical secretions, and some secretions from the endometrium. It is odorless, and the amount expelled varies among individuals, which is related to the estrogen levels in the body and the degree of genital congestion. In addition to physiological reasons or a decline in constitution that can lead to increased leukorrhea, leukorrhea caused by infectious diseases requires first identifying the underlying cause before treating accordingly.
