Normal women have secretions discharged from the vagina every day, and the main ingredient is a mixture of secretions from the vagina and cervix, endometrium, etc. Generally transparent egg white or white paste, no odor, will not be accompanied by any uncomfortable feeling, to menopause, due to the decline of ovarian function, estrogen reduction, women vaginal secretions will be less and less.
If you find that the vaginal discharge is increased, the color changes, accompanied by odors, itching, pain, burning and other sensations, it means that a gynecological disease has occurred, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for vaginal discharge examination and related other tests to determine the disease. Diseases that can cause abnormal vaginal discharge are mostly gynecological inflammation, but it is not excluded that everyone avoids malignant diseases - cancer, gynecological malignant tumors will also change in the vaginal discharge of women.
Female genital malignancies generally have three changes in vaginal secretions.
Vaginal secretions mixed with blood is reddish, or mixed with blood, or accompanied by contact bleeding, generally consider severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps and other benign lesions, but cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and fallopian tube cancer will also have such a performance, so you need to be cautious, there is such a vaginal discharge, you must go to the hospital for examination.
Purulent discharge is mostly yellow or yellow-green in color, the texture is viscous, and accompanied by odor, caused by bacterial infection, generally more common in acute gynecological inflammation, such as acute vaginitis, acute cervicitis, cervicitis, uterine empyema, vaginal foreign bodies, etc., but also in the case of cervical cancer or vaginal cancer complicated by infection.
There is a watery discharge, the amount is particularly large, there is a little milky white, also known as swill, but also accompanied by a strange odor, more common in cervical adenocarcinoma, advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or uterine mucosal fibroids with infection. If the watery secretion is also intermittently discharged, the clear, yellow-red fluid is also intermittently excreted, and the ability of fallopian tube carcinoma should also be considered.
In addition to the special changes in vaginal secretions, female genital tumors may also appear lumps in the lower abdomen, which deserve attention. It should be noted that female lower abdominal masses can come from the uterus and appendages, intestines, retroperitoneum, urinary system and abdominal wall tissues, many patients have no symptoms, especially in women with more lower abdominal fat and thick abdominal walls, the lump is difficult to be found by palpation of the abdomen or accidentally in daily life, mostly found during gynecological examination.
In addition, if postmenopausal women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding, continuous or repeated bleeding, and sometimes accompanied by lower abdominal pain, endometrial cancer should be considered, and senile vaginitis or endometritis may also occur.
In fact, if in daily life, there is a feeling of discomfort in the body, or symptoms that have not been seen before, such as weight loss, swallowing effort, irritating dry cough, chest and abdomen swelling in a short period of time or accompanied by shortness of breath, anorexia, etc. should be paid enough attention to and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. More malignant diseases will not have particularly obvious symptoms in the early stages, but the body will certainly send a certain early warning signal, as long as you can pay enough attention to your health, and accompanied by careful observation, the disease will be diagnosed and treated early, so as to get optimistic results.
