Today, we will first understand together with the white belt: white belt is what exactly? Leukorrhea is a secretion of the female genitalia, mainly secreted by the labia major and minor, vagina, cervical glands, a small amount of secretion by the endometrium. It is a white, flocculent, viscous fluid that serves to keep the vagina and vulva moist. What does normal leukorrhea look like? Under the influence of hormones in the body, the leukorrhea is changing, and women themselves can realize that the amount of leukorrhea changes with the menstrual cycle. After menstruation, the amount of leukorrhea gradually increases from a small amount to a peak during ovulation, and then gradually decreases until the next menstrual period. 1-2 days before menstruation, the leukorrhea will slightly increase again. This is mainly due to the shedding epithelium of the vagina, uterine secretions and bacteria. Also, the amount of leukorrhea increases during sexual intercourse. The consistency of the leukorrhea will also change periodically. During the ovulation period, the leukorrhea is thin, egg-white, and can pull out long threads, while in other stages, the state is thick, milky white, and the threads are easy to break. The above is the normal state of leukorrhea and the law of change, for the above changes in leukorrhea, we do not have to worry, it changes with the physiological cycle. If there is a different amount of increase, color, texture changes, leukorrhea is giving us a warning light, suggesting that it may be related to certain gynecological diseases, to be vigilant.

Since leukorrhea is secreted by the cervix, vagina, labia and related glands, and flows through the above internal genitalia, any changes in the above genitalia will be reflected in the changes in secretions, so the leukorrhea becomes an indicator of the health status of the corresponding gynecological organs. When the following conditions occur in the leukorrhea, it may indicate the following diseases, of course, the diagnosis should be based on the laboratory report to determine. 1.
