Annoy of leucorrhea

Question: I am 20 years old. I often have leucorrhea during my monthly menstrual period. Although I know it is normal, I sometimes get stalked by leucorrhea after a week interval, sometimes accompanied by brown liquid. I am very upset. Can I have any improvement in the TCM diet?

Answer: Leucorrhea Refers to the white mucus flowing out of the vagina from a woman, which is like a ribbon. As long as the vaginal discharge is small, transparent, colorless, odorless, and does not cause itching, it is a positive phenomenon and there is no need to worry.

Cause

However, if the secretion is abnormal, that is, increase, discoloration, or fishy smell for no reason, pay attention to it. The main cause of abnormal vaginal discharge is inflammation or injury of the vagina and cervix. The main cause of inflammation is infection by two microorganisms, Candida or Trichomonas, which makes the secretion yellow or brown (minor internal bleeding). The treatment of western medicine is to take antibiotics to reduce inflammation and sterilization.

The vagina is moist and dark, coupled with body temperature, is a breeding ground for bacteria. However, why do some people get bacterial infections and some people are fine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the body is strong, its own resistance is sufficient to eliminate bacteria, and it will not easily get inflammation. Only people with weak bodies will often get inflammation. Therefore, in terms of treatment, if only anti-inflammatory and sterilizing drugs are taken, they can only treat the symptoms; once the medication is stopped, bacteria may invade again and may cause other problems, such as urethritis. In addition, long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs will make the body weaker and form a vicious circle. Therefore, consolidating the roots and strengthening the physique are the root causes of the permanent cure.

On the other hand, sometimes although the body is not inflamed, the secretion is still abnormal. Western medicine often fails to explain this phenomenon and calls it normal. In fact, in Chinese medicine, this is also a manifestation of physical weakness. According to clinical experience, these people tend to have weak spleen and kidneys and poor circulation of blood, resulting in "lower yuan deficiency and cold," or "gong cold." The focus of treatment is to warm the uterus and strengthen the spleen.

In terms of diet, avoid eating cold foods, such as cabbage, white radish, broccoli, yellow sprouts, green tea, etc. 

However, people who are hot and dry (i.e., dry mouth and bitterness, red eyes, irritation, headache, etc.) are not suitable. People with cold and hot physiques are the most troublesome, it is best to consult a doctor and use drugs to speed up the adjustment. As for the next soup for strengthening the spleen, it is suitable for most people of the physique.
