What's the matter with watery leucorrhea?

Watery leucorrhea may be related to vaginitis, cervicitis, endocrine disorders, hydrosalpinx, endometrial cancer and other factors, and can be improved through drug treatment, surgical treatment and other methods. Watery leucorrhea usually appears as a colorless, odorless or thin liquid with a peculiar smell, and requires intervention based on the specific cause.

1. Vaginitis

Bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas vaginitis may cause watery vaginal discharge, often accompanied by itching or burning sensation in the vulva. Medications such as metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clotrimazole vaginal suppositories, and Baofukang suppositories can be used as directed by your doctor. It is necessary to keep the perineum clean every day and avoid wearing tight chemical fiber underwear.

2. Cervicitis

Cervicitis caused by gonococcal or chlamydial infection can lead to increased watery vaginal discharge, which may be accompanied by postcoital bleeding. Antibiotics such as azithromycin dispersible tablets and doxycycline tablets need to be used, and severe cases require cervical cryotherapy. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited during treatment.

3. Endocrine disorders

Changes in estrogen levels during ovulation or when taking birth control pills may cause physiological watery leucorrhea, usually without other discomfort. It can be improved by adjusting work and rest and supplementing vitamin E, and does not require special treatment. If it lasts for more than 2 menstrual cycles, pathological factors need to be investigated.

4. Hydrosalpinx

Hydrosalpinx caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease may cause watery discharge through the vagina, often accompanied by lower abdominal pain. If laparoscopic salpingostomy or resection is required, Chinese patent medicines such as Guizhi Fuling Capsules and Fuyankang Tablets can be used for postoperative conditioning.

5. Endometrial cancer

Postmenopausal women who experience bloody, watery leucorrhea should be alert to endometrial cancer, which may be accompanied by irregular bleeding. After diagnosis, total hysterectomy or radiotherapy and chemotherapy need to be selected according to the stage. Medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets can be used to regulate hormone levels after surgery.

It is recommended to wash the vulva with warm water 1-2 times a day, choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it daily. Avoid frequent use of vaginal douches as this may disrupt the balance of your flora. If watery leucorrhea lasts for more than 1 week or is accompanied by fever, abdominal pain and other symptoms, gynecological examination, routine leucorrhea and ultrasound examination should be carried out in time. In the diet, you can increase the amount of probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt and cranberries in an appropriate amount, and reduce the intake of spicy foods.
