It has to be said that women, as a special existence in society, do require us to spend time regulating many things, just like the vaginal discharge we are going to talk about today. I believe many women are troubled by this issue. After all, people may not be familiar with this, so today we will talk about vaginal discharge. For example, is eating black beans beneficial for vaginal discharge? What are the routine checks for vaginal discharge?
Is eating black beans beneficial for vaginal discharge
White discharge is a female vaginal secretion, which is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal and endometrial glandular secretions. Its formation is related to the action of estrogen. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge change with the menstrual cycle. After menstruation, the amount of vaginal discharge is small, the color is white, and it appears as a paste. During the mid menstrual period, when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of cervical glands, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which is transparent, slightly sticky, and egg white like. After 2-3 days of ovulation, the vaginal discharge becomes cloudy, thick and sticky with a small amount. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and vaginal discharge often increases.
Generally speaking, eating light food is beneficial for vaginal discharge. So a moderate amount of black beans is also beneficial for vaginal discharge. But remember not to eat too much, as it can have the opposite effect.
What are the routine checks for vaginal discharge
1. pH value
PH value check is an important inspection item for abnormal vaginal discharge. The normal pH value of the vagina is between 3.8 and 4.4, which is weakly acidic and can prevent pathogenic bacteria from reproducing in the vagina. The vaginal pH of patients with trichomonas vaginitis is 5.0-6.5. The vaginal pH of patients with bacterial vaginitis is 4.5.
2. Cleanliness of vaginal discharge
Observe the vaginal discharge smear under a microscope and determine the cleanliness of the vagina based on the amount of vaginal bacteria, white blood cells (WBC), and miscellaneous bacteria, divided into 4 degrees:
Grade I: There are a large number of vaginal bacteria and epithelial cells, no miscellaneous bacteria or white blood cells, and a clean field of view, indicating normal secretion.
Grade II: The amount of vaginal bacteria and epithelial cells, with a small amount of white blood cells and miscellaneous bacteria, still belongs to normal vaginal secretions.
Grade III: A small amount of vaginal bacteria and squamous epithelium, with more miscellaneous bacteria and white blood cells, indicating mild vaginal inflammation.
Grade IV: No vaginal bacteria, only a few epithelial cells, with a large number of white blood cells and miscellaneous bacteria. Indicating relatively severe vaginal inflammation, such as fungal vaginitis and trichomonas vaginitis.
Grades I-II are normal, while grades III-IV are abnormal vaginal discharge, indicating vaginal inflammation.
The above are the knowledge points about vaginal discharge that we introduced today. As a medium to convey our physical health, we still need to pay more attention to vaginal discharge. So I hope the above discussion about whether eating black beans is beneficial for vaginal discharge and the routine examination methods for vaginal discharge can help everyone further understand vaginal discharge and better regulate their body.
