Why is the leucorrhea as odorless as running water?

Leucorrhea that is as smelly as running water may be related to the increase in physiological secretions during ovulation, fluctuations in estrogen levels, vaginitis, cervicitis, hydrosalpinx, etc. Intervention can be made by observing changes in symptoms, gynecological examination, drug treatment, etc.

1. Ovulation secretions

The increase in estrogen levels in the middle of the menstrual cycle will lead to increased secretion of cervical mucus and the appearance of transparent egg white-like watery leucorrhea, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. No special treatment is required, just keep the perineum clean and dry, and avoid using panty liners to cover it for long periods of time.

2. Abnormal estrogen levels

Taking estrogen-containing drugs or endocrine disorders may stimulate excessive secretion of cervical glands. It is often accompanied by menstrual cycle disorders and can be diagnosed through six sex hormone tests. It is recommended to adjust your work and rest routine, and use estradiol valerate tablets, progesterone capsules and other medications as directed by your doctor if necessary.

3. Bacterial vaginosis

Imbalance of vaginal flora may lead to thinner and more secretions, but the odor will not be obvious. It is mostly related to frequent vaginal douching or antibiotic abuse, and vaginal microecological assessment can be tested. For treatment, metronidazole vaginal gel, clindamycin phosphate vaginal suppository, etc. are used, together with lactic acid bacteria vaginal capsules to regulate the bacterial flora.

4. Chronic cervicitis

When the cervical columnar epithelium migrates outward, the amount of secretion increases and becomes transparent and watery. It may be complicated by bleeding after intercourse, and TCT and HPV screening are required to rule out the disease. Baofukang suppositories and recombinant human interferon α2b vaginal effervescent tablets can be used for local treatment. In severe cases, cervical physical therapy can be performed.

5. Hydrosalpinx

When inflammation of the fallopian tubes causes fluid to accumulate, watery discharge may occur through the uterine cavity. It is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain or infertility, and ultrasound or contrast examination is required for diagnosis. For mild cases, levofloxacin tablets combined with Jingangteng capsules can be used to reduce inflammation, while for severe cases, laparoscopic surgery is required for dredging.

You should choose cotton underwear and change it daily to avoid wearing tight pants that compress the perineum. Just use warm water when cleaning the vulva. Vaginal lavage is prohibited from damaging the microenvironment. If watery leucorrhea lasts for more than 2 weeks, or symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever occur, you need to see a gynecologist promptly to check for organic lesions. When women who are preparing for pregnancy experience this symptom, it is recommended to give priority to ruling out fallopian tube problems to avoid affecting their reproductive function.
