What happens if there is a little blood in the vaginal discharge?

Women's physical health is very important, and what has always been related to women's health is leucorrhea, which is a sign of health. If the leucorrhea is normal, there will not be any major problems with the female body. If the leucorrhea is abnormal, timely treatment is needed. For example, what happens if there is a little blood in the leucorrhea? We need to find the cause. If it is not treated in time, it will cause other gynecological diseases, so we need to pay attention to it. Because abnormal leucorrhea will affect women's lives, let us take a closer look at the reasons.

Western medicine believes that the vaginal environment is often unstable due to the host's metabolic products, the bacteria's own products and exogenous factors (sexual intercourse, douching and other interference). The vaginal flora is very complex. In addition to protozoa and fungi, it also includes many aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. These microorganisms can be divided into commensal and pathological ones. They all grow in a common environment and there may be antagonism between the microorganisms.

Another factor that affects its growth is the hydrogen ion concentration. At pH 3.8~4.2, it is conducive to the reproduction of commensal bacteria, especially Lactobacillus, which is the main species in a healthy vagina. The density in vaginal fluid can reach 105~108ml. When the vagina is infected by microorganisms, if Lactobacillus is dominant and can still maintain pH 3.8~4.2, it will not cause disease. Moreover, Lactobacillus can also produce H202, which is toxic to other microorganisms and inhibits their reproduction. Others such as Streptococcus lactis, Enterobacter, Proteus, Gavagelococcus, and Veillonella are common in the lower end of the vagina and usually do not cause symptoms.

The vaginal flora restrain each other, preventing pathological bacteria from having any effect. If this balance is disrupted, the mutual restraint disappears, so the hydrogen ion concentration decreases, lactobacilli lose their advantage, and pathological bacteria are able to multiply, resulting in symptoms. Bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection caused by a decrease in lactobacilli in the vagina and a massive proliferation of other bacteria, mainly Gardnerella, various anaerobic bacteria and mycoplasma.

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and is a sexually transmitted disease. It is transmitted through direct transmission (through sexual intercourse, 75% of the semen of the spouse with Trichomonas vaginitis can be found in Trichomonas) and indirect transmission (through various bathing utensils, swimming pools, public toilets or contaminated clothes and equipment). In the census, the detection rate of Trichomonas was 3.56%, among which some women had no inflammation symptoms and were called carriers.

The above content is about the question of what happens if there is a little blood in the leucorrhea. Abnormal leucorrhea in women is usually due to not paying attention to hygiene in daily life, especially during sex. You must clean the private parts frequently with cleansing liquid to prevent infection from some bacteria. Also, be sure to wear pure cotton underwear. Some underwear materials can also cause genital infections and abnormal leucorrhea.
