Leucorrhea refers to an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge in women. However, it does not mean that increased vaginal discharge means there is a disease. Sometimes increased vaginal discharge is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Increased leucorrhea can be divided into physiological leucorrhea increase and pathological leucorrhea increase. Excessive vaginal discharge in women may be caused by certain gynecological diseases. Women should go to a regular professional hospital for relevant gynecological examinations in time to understand the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Common causes of excessive vaginal discharge are as follows:

1. Bacterial infection

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common gynecological disease. You must not take it lightly and should go to a regular professional hospital for relevant treatment in time. In daily life, patients should eat more light food, not drink alcohol, not smoke, not eat spicy food, and eat more food that has the effect of penetrating dampness, such as winter melon, watermelon, red bean, etc.

2. Fungal infection

Candidal vaginitis is caused by fungal infection under normal circumstances, and its incidence rate is higher than Trichomonas vaginitis. If you have candidal vaginitis, you will have symptoms such as vulvar itching, which will cause many inconveniences and impacts on women's life and work, and will also affect the couple's life. You should go to a regular professional hospital in time for relevant gynecological examinations and treatments.

3. Trichomonas infection

Trichomonas vaginitis is a common vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis exists in the vagina for a long time, consuming or engulfing glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells, hindering the production of lactic acid, which not only destroys the weakly acidic environment of the vagina, but may also cause abnormal development of vaginal cells and induce precancerous lesions. Don't be careless and go to a professional hospital in time for relevant gynecological examinations and treatments.

In short, experts tell everyone that if the amount of vaginal discharge increases when there is no sexual intercourse, it is likely to be a bacterial infection. You should pay more attention to your hygiene. If a bacterial or fungal infection occurs, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. The same applies to children. It is normal for children to have more vaginal discharge, so don't worry too much.
