White discharge is secreted in the female reproductive tract. Women should pay attention to the condition of vaginal discharge as it can reflect their reproductive health status. Some women may find that their vaginal discharge has increased, has a strange odor, and even appears as tofu residue, so they will be very worried. So, how is tofu residue and white discharge caused?
If tofu residue and vaginal discharge appear, it is usually caused by infection with pathogenic bacteria and inflammation, which is a typical symptom of fungal vaginitis. Candida can exist in the female vagina, and when the body is healthy, it does not cause diseases. If a woman's vaginal immune system is weakened, it is easy to develop candidal infections, which can lead to fungal vaginitis. When inflammation stimulates the vaginal mucosa, it can cause abnormal symptoms of vaginal discharge.
Mycotic vaginitis is a common gynecological disease in women. Its incidence rate is relatively high, and it is very easy to repeat after treatment. When women discover that they have tofu residue and vaginal discharge, they should undergo a detailed examination and actively seek treatment. If the disease is not controlled in a timely manner, not only will the condition worsen, but it can also easily cause other illnesses, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
If diagnosed with fungal vaginitis after examination, treatment should be carried out according to medical advice. Moreover, regular follow-up examinations are necessary during the treatment period, and medication can only be gradually discontinued if the abnormal symptoms disappear and three consecutive follow-up examinations are normal.
