What many people don't know is that in fact, in addition to menstruation, vaginal discharge can also be a large feedback on whether women's gynecological health is maintained well.
Typically, a healthy vaginal discharge should be a colorless or light white, odorless, viscous liquid. And with the change of physiological cycle, the secretion and transparency of vaginal discharge often show regular changes.
For example, before the arrival of menstruation and just after the end of menstruation, because the level of estrogen secretion tends to be low, the amount of vaginal discharge will be relatively small, and the texture is often more turbid and viscous.
In the ovulation stage, due to the high level of estrogen secretion, the amount of vaginal discharge will be more, and the texture is often clear and transparent, that is, similar to egg white. When the vaginal discharge has obvious odor, color or abnormal texture problems, it means that women's gynecological health, especially vaginal health, is likely to have been seriously damaged.
At this time, it is often necessary to make a detailed diagnosis of the condition by vaginal discharge routine. So how does the vaginal discharge routine work? Combined with the test results obtained by the vaginal discharge routine, how should female friends judge the condition?
First, the operation process
During routine vaginal discharge, patients lie flat on a professional console and remove their underwear and outer pants early. At the same time, place your legs and expose your vulva according to the doctor's instructions.
The doctor then uses a vaginal dilator to open the vaginal opening, exposing the cervix to the local area. A small amount of vaginal discharge is then dipped in a clean cotton swab and placed in a special test box, and finally sent for testing awaits professional test results.
Second, how to understand the inspection results
In the face of the results of the vaginal discharge routine, female friends mainly need to pay attention to the two categories of cleanliness and pathogens. The higher the cleanliness numerical rating, the more cluttered the bacterial components contained in the vaginal discharge.
Typically, I and II degrees mean that the vagina is in better shape, while grades III and IV often indicate a problem with vaginitis.
The pathogen is mainly concerned about trichomoniasis, cue cells, spores, hyphae, etc., when there is a positive result, it is necessary to take the corresponding treatment measures in time, let's take a closer look at it.
1. Trichomoniasis vaginitis
When the results of the routine test for vaginal discharge are positive for trichomoniasis, it means that the patient has a problem with trichomoniasis vaginitis, and metronidazole can be used to achieve effective treatment according to the doctor's advice.
Symptoms of the disease in such patients are usually vaginal itching, yellowing or greening of vaginal discharge, and the odor of vaginal discharge is likely to be sour or smelly.
2. Bacterial vaginosis
When the test results are positive for a clue cell, it means that the patient is likely to have bacterial vaginosis, which requires targeted treatment with oral medications or vaginal suppositories. Such patients tend to have a pronounced odor with vaginal discharge, and the color of the vaginal discharge is likely to be off-white.
3. Fungal vaginitis
When the vaginal discharge contains hyphae or spores, it means that the patient is likely to have fungal vaginitis, and it is necessary to combine the actual situation and complete antibacterial treatment in a timely manner in accordance with the doctor's instructions. Remember not to simply think that as long as you do more vulvar irrigation, you will be able to cure vaginitis on your own, this wrong idea must be corrected in time.
The above is an introduction to important knowledge related to vaginal discharge. First of all, for whether the vaginal discharge remains normal, female friends must learn how to judge. Once there is a vaginal discharge abnormality, it is important to pay more attention.
Secondly, when the vaginal discharge temporarily remains healthy, female friends should also remember not to let down their vigilance, and it is still very necessary to actively do a good job in private parts maintenance, especially private parts cleaning.
