Leucorrhoea disorders can greatly interfere with daily activities. However, there is no need to worry too much about the female problem. It's just that you need to know the right way to handle it.
Vaginal fluid is actually the body's natural way of cleaning the sex organs. Normally, the liquid looks clear or slightly cloudy, odorless and does not trigger itching. Generally, vaginal fluid will be more and more thick before menstruation.
Abnormal vaginal discharge signs
Changes in odor, color and texture of vaginal fluid or often called vaginal discharge, may occur due to infection. Some causes of infection include fungus, viruses, bacteria, or allergic reactions with chemicals from soap, vaginal spray (spray), or underwear.
Some characteristics of vaginal discharge that interfere with and need to be treated include if there is enough fluid, smells, or triggers itching, heat and swelling around the vagina. Irritating vaginal discharge can also cause discomfort when urinating or having sex.
Leucorrhoea in pregnant women is common due to hormonal changes. Changes in texture and volume of vaginal fluid is because the body tries to prevent infections that can affect the baby in the womb. Towards labor, vaginal discharge can be triggered by the baby's head which is increasingly pressing the cervix or cervix.
To relieve the symptoms of vaginal discharge, it can be started by keeping the vagina clean. Use warm water when cleaning the vagina. Clean from front to back after urinating. It is recommended to choose underwear that is made of cotton and not too tight.
How to Overcome Leucorrhoea
If the symptoms of vaginal discharge become more disturbing, treat according to the cause. Leucorrhoea due to infection, can be treated by giving anti-fungal or anti-bacterial drugs applied to the vagina or in the form of drugs consumed.
Leucorrhoea caused by allergic reactions or irritations can be done by avoiding the cause. Try replacing soap, detergent, sanitary pads or other things that trigger it. Provision of topical medication can also help with disturbing symptoms.
Eating yogurt that contains many good bacteria mentioned can help reduce infections that cause vaginal discharge. However, clinical studies show, overcoming vaginal discharge due to bacterial infection of pathogens that cause vaginosis by using a female cleanser that contains povidone iodine by suppository suppositories (inserted into the vagina) turns out to be more effective, when compared to consuming capsules containing lactobacial bacteria.
After two weeks of using a female cleanser containing povidone iodine, there was a decrease in pathogenic bacteria and an increase in good bacteria in the vagina. Meanwhile, the consumption of lactobacillus capsules effectively eradicates pathogenic bacteria in the first week and decreases in the second week. The conclusion of this study shows, the antiseptic treatment of povidone iodine is quite effective to increase good bacteria in the intimate organs and no additional lactobacillus consumption is needed.
Another study was conducted on more than 60 pregnant women who received treatment for povidone iodine suppositoria for 7 days at the age of the third trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women experience vaginal infections due to pathogenic bacteria and fungi that can be complicated for the mother and fetus. As a result, it is safe for the fetus because no thyroid fungal abnormalities are found in the baby born.
Researchers recommend the use of female cleansers that contain povidone iodine to treat vaginal infections (due to bacteria, fungi), prevent uterine infections (intrauterine), and restore the presence of normal vaginal flora.
If vaginal discharge is protracted and very disturbing, consult a doctor. Inform about the symptoms experienced along with color, texture and how much vaginal discharge arises for appropriate treatment.
