Through vaginal examination, it is possible to understand whether there are any health hazards in the female reproductive system. If a woman suffers from certain gynecological diseases, it often causes abnormal changes in her vaginal discharge, such as tofu like changes and sometimes accompanied by a noticeable odor. So, what is the reason for the tofu like appearance of this vaginal discharge?
1. The normal appearance of vaginal discharge in women is colorless, transparent, or slightly milky white. If the discharge shows a tofu residue like change, it should mainly be considered as vulvovaginal candidiasis, a gynecological inflammation commonly known as fungal vaginitis. The common symptoms of this disease are redness and swelling of the vaginal mucosa, as well as white lumps of tofu residue like white discharge visible on the inner side of the labia minora and the vagina, covering the surface of the vaginal mucosa. After wiping, the redness and swelling of the mucosal surface can be revealed.
2. After being diagnosed with fungal vaginitis, medication is the main treatment method, and the treatment method is relatively simple, mainly using local medication. However, it is necessary to remove the triggering factors and reasonably change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina. The treatment course and medication dosage must be carried out according to the doctor's advice. It is not allowed to stop medication treatment after the inflammation has been relieved or disappeared, which can easily lead to the recurrence of the condition. Therefore, the treatment course should be sufficient to achieve a thorough cure.
3. In daily life, one should pay attention to hygiene, exercise to improve immunity, and change underwear frequently. If the partner is a carrier, treatment must also be carried out simultaneously, and this is an important measure to prevent the recurrence of fungal vaginitis.
