What's the matter with milky leucorrhea?

Milky white leucorrhea may be caused by vaginal flora imbalance, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomonas vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. It can be improved by keeping the area clean and taking medication.

1. Vaginal flora imbalance

Vaginal flora imbalance may be related to factors such as frequent vaginal douching and abuse of antibiotics. It usually manifests as symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and color change. It is necessary to avoid excessive cleaning in daily life. You can use lactic acid bacteria vaginal capsules as directed by your doctor to adjust the microecological balance.

2. Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is usually caused by anaerobic bacteria such as Gardnerella and is often accompanied by fishy-smelling leucorrhea. Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets or clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel can be used for treatment, and sexual stimulation must be avoided.

3. Vulvovaginal candidiasis

Candida infection may cause bean-like milky white leucorrhea, often accompanied by vulvar itching. You can use clotrimazole vaginal tablets or miconazole nitrate suppositories as directed by your doctor. Cotton underwear needs to be changed daily and washed with boiling water.

4. Trichomonal vaginitis

Trichomonas infection may cause a frothy, yellowish-white discharge that is contagious. Couples need to be treated together. The commonly used drug is tinidazole vaginal effervescent tablets. During the treatment period, swimming, bathing and other public water activities are prohibited.

5. Cervicitis

Chronic inflammation of the cervix can cause thick, milky white leucorrhea, which may be combined with contact bleeding. Cervical TCT screening is required, and Baofukang suppository or interferon suppository can be used for local treatment in the acute stage.

It is recommended to wash the vulva with warm water every day and avoid using alkaline lotions. Choose breathable cotton underwear and hand wash and dry them separately, and change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. The diet needs to reduce the intake of spicy foods and appropriately supplement yogurt containing probiotics. If the leucorrhea continues to be abnormal or is accompanied by itching, odor and other symptoms, you should promptly go to the gynecology department for a routine leucorrhea examination. After identifying the pathogen, you should take targeted medication and avoid buying lotions on your own to rinse the vagina.
