Vaginal discharge disease

　　Vaginal discharge disease is mainly due to the influence of dampness on the Ren and Dai meridians, leading to the loss of control of the belt and the failure of the Ren meridian, thus forming. Dampness has internal and external differences, external dampness refers to external wind-heat; internal dampness is mostly due to spleen deficiency and loss of function, kidney deficiency and loss of firmness.

　　1. Damp-heat (toxin) due to unclean living habits, or long-term residence in damp and humid places, or due to surgical injury, leading to invasion of damp-heat and bacteria into the belt, causing vaginal discharge. There is also damp-heat flowing downward along the liver meridian, or due to heat toxin accumulation and corruption, injury to blood vessels, leading to red and white vaginal discharge.

　　2. Spleen deficiency due to irregular diet, excessive fatigue, poor spleen function, dampness turbidity flowing downward, and injury to the Ren and Dai meridians, leading to vaginal discharge disease.

　　3. Kidney deficiency due to insufficient kidney qi or excessive labor, failure of sealing and storing; there is also kidney yin deficiency and excessive相 fire, burning blood vessels, causing vaginal discharge to be red and white.

　　According to the different colors and symptoms under the belt, it is divided into white belt, yellow belt; red belt, blue belt, black belt, and five-color belt. Clinically, white belt, yellow belt, and red belt are more common. Blue belt may be purulent discharge, black belt may be a small amount of old, degenerative discharge, or discharge from malignant lesions in the reproductive tract, and five-color belt is mostly discharge from malignant lesions in the reproductive organs, which is more common in perimenopausal women. Vaginal discharge disease is common in various vaginal and cervical inflammation. Taking cervicitis as an example, let's talk about what diseases vaginal discharge disease can cause.

　　1. Cervical hypertrophy

　　Cervical hypertrophy is caused by the stimulation of cervicitis, which leads to localized hyperplasia of the endometrium, forming a single or multiple pedunculated bright red polyps protruding from the cervical canal or the external orifice of the cervix, with a diameter of less than 1 cm, rich in blood vessels, and easy to bleed when touched.

　　2. Cervical polyps

　　Cervical polyps are complications of cervicitis caused by localized hyperplasia of the endometrium under the stimulation of cervicitis.

　　3. Cervical gland cyst

　　Long-term stimulation of cervicitis can lead to varying degrees of erosion of the cervix, causing the newly formed epithelium to cover the orifice of the cervical glands or extend directly into the tube, blocking the glands. The proliferation of connective tissue around the glands or the formation of scars are complications of cervicitis. They can also compress the glands, causing the drainage of glandular secretions to be obstructed, retained, and forming cysts. It is manifested as multiple small, white cysts protruding from the surface of the cervix, containing colorless jelly-like substances. If infected, the appearance of small cysts is often white or pale yellow.

　　Leukorrhea refers to the abnormality of the period, amount, color, quality, and smell of leukorrhea, accompanied by local or systemic symptoms as characteristics. Clinically, leukorrhea, yellow leukorrhea, and red leukorrhea are common, while green leukorrhea may be purulent secretion, black leukorrhea may be a small amount of old secretion or secretion from malignant lesions in the reproductive tract, and five-color leukorrhea is mostly secretion from malignant lesions in the reproductive organs, which is more common in perimenopausal women.

　　To prevent leukorrhea, it is recommended to actively participate in physical exercise, enhance physical fitness, keep the lower abdomen warm, prevent the invasion of wind and cold evil, have a moderate diet, and avoid damaging the spleen and stomach. Swimming is prohibited during menstruation to prevent ascending infection by bacteria; bath utensils should be separated; those with tinea pedis should separate the foot cloth from the perineum washing cloth; showering is advocated, and the toilet should be changed to a squatting type to prevent cross-infection.

　　Patients with leukorrhea need to undergo gynecological examination, which mainly includes general examination, abdominal examination, and pelvic examination. It checks the condition of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, parauterine tissues, and the inner wall of the pelvic cavity. The main function is to make an early diagnosis, prevention, and early treatment of some gynecological diseases.

　　Vaginal discharge is the fluid secreted by the female reproductive system, also known as leukorrhea. The general physical examination is to observe the color and properties of vaginal discharge. However, in fact, the examination of vaginal discharge is the routine leukorrhea examination in the hospital. It is a common examination in gynecology. Through the examination of vaginal pH value, vaginal cleanliness, vaginal microorganisms, ammonia test, and clue cell examination, it is determined whether the vaginal discharge of women is abnormal, which is a physical examination related to women's physiological hygiene.

　　Patients with leukorrhea should pay attention to adjusting their diet in addition to general treatment.

　　1. It is advisable to supplement nutrition and enhance physical fitness by eating more milk, eggs, soy milk, lean meat, and animal internal organs.

　　2. It is recommended to eat more foods with the function of invigorating the spleen and removing dampness, such as yam, mung bean, lotus seed, white fungus, Job's tears, broad bean, mung bean, black fungus, kidney bean, walnut kernel, dried sea cucumber, celery, turtle meat, pork stomach, black chicken, and euryale seed.

　　3. Yellow leukorrhea and bloody leukorrhea are caused by damp-heat, so it is advisable to drink more soup and eat light food, eat more fresh vegetables such as celery, chrysanthemum, winter melon, amaranth, watermelon, linden flowers, mung beans, red beans, water chestnuts, seaweed, purslane, broad bean flowers, mung beans, mushrooms, fresh lotus root, etc.

　　4. Avoid sweet and greasy foods and foods with a sweet taste, such as fatty meat, seafood, glutinous rice cakes, etc., to prevent dampness and phlegm.

　　5. Avoid hot and dry foods such as fried and fried foods.

　　6. Avoid刺激性食物 such as scallions, garlic, ginger, chili, and alcohol.

　　To treat leukorrhea, it is necessary to actively treat and eliminate predisposing factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid scratching. It is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods, as this can be very effective. Change underwear frequently and wash them with warm water. Do not mix them with other clothes to avoid cross-infection.

　　Firstly, change the vaginal acid-base balance

　　The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5, and the weak acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. For normal people, it is 3.7 to 4.5. Therefore, using a Ph4 weak acid formula feminine hygiene fluid, in addition to being suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance, can also inhibit the growth and reproduction of Candida during the treatment period. When going to the toilet, use a feminine hygiene wet wipe to dry the vulva to keep it dry and inhibit the growth of Candida.

　　Secondly, drug therapy

　　1. Trichomonas vaginitis: Trichomonas exists in the folds and glandular tissue of the cervix, as well as in the urethra and intestines, so both internal and external treatment should be considered. Oral medications to kill trichomonas should be taken. After taking the medicine, trichomonas should be tested. If it is negative, the next treatment course should be continued after the next menstrual period to consolidate the effect. Local treatment should also be carried out at the same time.

　　2. Fungal vaginitis: Soda solution can be used to rinse the vulva, vagina, or sit in a bath. After gently drying, place the nystatin suppository deep into the vagina or apply nystatin cream to the vaginal wall, once a day or twice a day, for 10 to 14 days.

　　3. Non-specific vaginitis: Metronidazole can be taken orally. Local application for treatment can also be considered.

　　4. Senile vaginitis: Local application can be used to increase vaginal acidity. For those with severe inflammation, estrogen therapy can be supplemented.
