What is the examination for abnormal leucorrhea?

Abnormal leucorrhea usually requires examination of vaginal secretions, cervical smears, B-ultrasound and other items to determine the cause and take targeted treatment.

Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological problem in women and may be caused by a variety of reasons. Under normal circumstances, vaginal discharge is transparent or milky white, has no odor, and is of moderate quantity. If the color, odor, texture, or quantity of vaginal discharge changes significantly, it may indicate the presence of a gynecological disease. Common examination items include vaginal discharge examination, which uses a microscope to observe the cells, bacteria, or fungi in the vaginal discharge to determine whether there is an infection; cervical smear examination, which is used to screen for cervicitis, cervical erosion, or cervical precancerous lesions; B-ultrasound examination, which can observe whether there are organic lesions in organs such as the uterus and ovaries. Depending on the specific situation, the doctor may recommend sex hormone level testing or HPV virus screening.

The treatment of abnormal leucorrhea needs to be targeted according to the cause. If it is bacterial vaginitis, commonly used drugs include metronidazole, clindamycin, etc.; fungal infections such as candidal vaginitis, antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and clotrimazole can be used; Trichomonas vaginitis requires oral metronidazole or tinidazole. For cervicitis or cervical erosion, physical therapy methods such as laser, freezing or electrocautery can be used. In daily life, keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid using irritating lotions; choose cotton underwear with good breathability and change them regularly; eat more foods rich in vitamin C and probiotics, such as yogurt and citrus fruits, which can help enhance immunity. If abnormal leucorrhea is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever or bleeding, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the disease.
