What Causes Vaginal Discharge?
Types of vaginal discharge
There are several different types of vaginal discharge. These types are categorized based on their color and consistency. Some types of discharge are normal. Others may indicate an underlying condition that requires treatment.
White
A bit of white discharge, especially at the beginning or end of your menstrual cycle, is normal. However, if the discharge is accompanied by itching and has a thick, cottage cheese-like consistency or appearance, it’s not normal and needs treatment. This type of discharge may be a sign of a yeast infection.
Clear and watery
A clear and watery discharge is perfectly normal. It can occur at any time of the month. It may be especially heavy after exercise.
Clear and stretchy
When discharge is clear but stretchy and mucous-like, rather than watery, it indicates that you are likely ovulating. This is a normal type of discharge.
Brown or bloody
Brown or bloody discharge is usually normal, especially when it occurs during or right after your menstrual cycle. A late discharge at the end of your period can look brown instead of red. You may also experience a small amount of bloody discharge between periods. This is called spotting.
If spotting occurs during the normal time of your period and you’ve recently had sex without protection, this could be a sign of pregnancy. Spotting during an early phase of pregnancy can be a sign of miscarriage, so it should be discussed with your OB-GYN.
In rare cases, brown or bloody discharge can be a sign of advanced cervical cancer. This is why it’s important to get a yearly pelvic exam and Pap smear. Your gynecologist will check for cervical abnormalities during these procedures.
Yellow or green
A yellow or green discharge, especially when it’s thick, chunky, or accompanied by an unpleasant smell, isn’t normal. This type of discharge may be a sign of the infection trichomoniasis. It’s commonly spread through sexual intercourse.
Causes Of Leucorrhoea
Leucorrhea in young girls is caused due to various reasons. As mentioned earlier it can be physiological or pathological. White discharge can be from cervix or vagina. Here are some important causes of leucorrhea in young girls.
- Hormonal changes during puberty. Fluctuation of female hormone namely estrogen increases vaginal secretion leading to physiological leucorrhea.
- Anemia: Many young girls are anemic, especially malnourished females. White discharge is common embarrassing problem in them.
- Poor hygienic condition is one of the main causes for leucorrhea in young girls. Those who do not maintain proper hygiene during menstruation are susceptible to develop white discharge. Poor hygiene of vaginal area increases risk of infection in genitourinary tract. Thus giving rise to abnormal foul smelling vaginal discharge.
- Fungal infection flourishes in moist and unhygienic condition. Wearing tight synthetic underwear keeps the area moist for long time. Fungus Candida albicans can easily grow in such condition giving rise to abnormal white discharge.
- Young girls who are sexually active may suffer from leucorrhea due to infective pathogens such as Trichomonas vaginalis or Chlamydia infection.
- Injury to female genital tract can trigger abnormal white discharge often stained with blood.
- Girls forgetting to remove tampons during menstruation.
- Excessive sexual desire, masturbation, intestinal worms etc.
- Severe mental stress and strain as it imbalances hormones and increase secretion.
Symptoms of Leucorrhea
The symptoms of leucorrhea may not be similar as every woman is different. It may vary in intensity. Some women remain asymptomatic while some manifest following symptoms:
-
- Thin or thick white excessive sticky discharge from vagina.
- The discharge can be foul and yellow if it is caused due to infection.
- Severe itching, soreness and swelling in vaginal area.
- Weakness and generalized debility.
- Burning urination.
