Leucorrhea is brown

Introduction

Introduction Leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal and endometrial gland secretions under normal conditions, and is related to the action of estrogen. It changes with the menstrual cycle and is secreted from the vagina. . Under normal circumstances, the vaginal discharge should be transparent, shiny, white, or egg-like, with a viscous, small amount, without any odor, and has no adverse effects on women's health, called physiological vaginal discharge.

Pathological leucorrhea can be divided into non-inflammatory vaginal discharge, inflammatory vaginal discharge, foreign body irritating vaginal discharge, and other vaginal exclusion.

Cause

Cause

1, a large number of use of cleaning fluid: women frequently wash the vagina, especially with lotion, lactobacillus will be reduced, which will destroy the micro-ecological balance in the vagina, resulting in flora imbalance. Because women's vagina has a self-cleaning effect, women's vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen, and normal women's vagina is parasitic with a bacterium called Lactobacillus vaginalis, which can break down these glycogen into monosaccharides, and then Decomposed into lactic acid, the vaginal environment is acidic, and the pH is kept at 4-5. Pathogens that are suitable for growth in an alkaline environment are therefore inhibited, which is the self-purification of the vagina.

2, long-term use of sanitary pads: long-term use of sanitary pads, airtight, due to more leucorrhea secretions, often the genital area is in a damp state, there is a certain stimulation of local skin. Destroy the balance of the vagina and easily cause infection.

3, do not pay attention to hygiene, do not change underwear: women should change underwear every day, pay attention to personal clean, change underwear is best placed in the sun on the sun.
