Women are well aware that excessive vaginal discharge is not a good phenomenon because it generally indicates the presence of gynecological diseases, so they are very concerned about their physical health. Some women with excessive vaginal discharge need to undergo a urine routine test, fearing that it may affect the accuracy of the test results. So I want to know if excessive vaginal discharge will affect urinary protein?
White discharge is a white viscous liquid composed of a mixture of exudate from the endometrium, cervical glands, vaginal mucosa, and shed vaginal epithelial cells. Generally speaking, checking vaginal discharge can detect the presence of vaginitis and does not affect the examination of urine protein. Urinary protein is mostly caused by abnormal conditions in the kidneys, and patients with urinary system inflammation may have urinary protein. If this is the case, timely medical treatment is needed.
The female urethra and vagina are very close, and during a urine routine examination, excessive vaginal discharge may be left in the urine. If it is caused by vaginitis, it may affect the results of the examination. To ensure the accuracy of the examination results, it is best for women with vaginitis to receive treatment and have their vaginal discharge return to normal before undergoing the examination. Moreover, it is best to use the first morning urine during the examination, and after cleaning the genital area, take the urine from the middle section for more accurate results.
Sometimes patients with vaginitis may experience pseudo proteinuria and increased white blood cells during urine routine examination, as long as the symptoms improve after the vaginitis is cured. If the vaginitis is cured, further detailed examination is necessary if there are still abnormal conditions in the urine protein test.
