Whether vaginal discharge is normal can indicate whether women have some health problems with their reproductive system, so female friends will also pay attention to the vaginal discharge they secrete in their daily lives. For example, some women's vaginal discharge may present as tofu residue like changes, and it is necessary to identify the cause and provide treatment for this. So, what causes white discharge and tofu residue?
1. If a woman's vaginal discharge shows tofu residue like changes, it is considered abnormal vaginal discharge and often accompanied by itching symptoms. For this situation, the first consideration should be related to fungal vaginitis. Tofu residue like white discharge is mainly composed of shed epithelial cells, as well as components such as pseudohyphae, mycelium, and yeast, resulting in a white discharge resembling tofu residue.
2. When a woman's vaginal discharge shows a bean residue like change, it is important to promptly go to the hospital for routine laboratory tests to make a clear diagnosis. Suffering from fungal vaginitis requires timely treatment with antibiotics to avoid procrastination. However, when the condition becomes severe, it not only has a significant adverse effect on one's own health but also increases the difficulty of treatment.
3. Simple fungal vaginitis can be effectively treated by local medication. Under the guidance of a physician, appropriate vaginal cleansers can be used in combination with medication suppositories for treatment. It is important to follow the doctor's advice for a complete course of treatment. Do not stop taking medication just because the symptoms have slightly improved or you feel like they have disappeared. Insufficient and thorough treatment can easily cause the disease to recur, and if stubborn fungal vaginitis is formed, it is even more difficult to cure.
