Patient's question:
Since a few weeks ago, my leukorrhea has started to increase, and it has a bad odor. A few days ago, I had leukorrhea that looked like curd, and it was itchy and very uncomfortable, but I couldn't scratch it with my hands. I bought medicine from a pharmacy and used it, and it has improved a lot. The hospital examination results showed squamous epithelial cells +, cleanliness III↑, pus cells ++++, and no trichomonas found.What kind of help do I need: What are the reference values for a routine leukorrhea test?
Doctor's answer:
How to interpret the results of routine leukorrhea examination:I～II are normal.
III～IV are abnormal, possibly indicating vaginitis, and often pathogens, fungi, vaginal trichomonads, etc., can be found. During the cleanliness examination, trichomonas and fungal tests should also be performed.
Mold and trichomonads in leukorrhea, after processing, can be identified under a microscope based on their morphology to determine whether trichomonads or mold are present. If trichomonads or mold are present, regardless of their quantity, they are indicated by a "+" sign.
The "+" symbol only indicates that the woman is infected with trichomonads or mold and does not indicate the severity of the infection.
