Reasons for increased vaginal discharge
The causes of increased vaginal discharge can be divided into physiological and pathological factors.
The increase in healthy women's vaginal discharge is directly proportional to the increase in estrogen levels in the body. If there is an increase in vaginal discharge during ovulation or pregnancy, endometrial growth is too long, or estrogen drugs are used, similar to an increase in vaginal discharge. A particularly noteworthy increase in vaginal discharge is caused by pathological discharge.
Increased vaginal discharge may not necessarily be a disease, but it is mostly caused by gynecological diseases.
External causes are close to the infection mentioned by western medicine, such as vaginal trichomonas infection, which is mostly transmitted through sexual behavior. Patients often complain that there are a large number of yellow green or gray foam like and foul smelling secretions, including pathogen infection and cervical erosion and many other factors.
1. Cervical erosion: Cervicitis caused by labor laceration, changes in sex hormones and sexual behavior may lead to excessive leucorrhea. A few women may experience unexplained cervical erosion, which is congenital and can also cause excessive vaginal discharge.
