The slightly acidic vaginal environment, the natural microflora, inhibits the development of pathogens to the outside. Protection against the penetration of further infection of the uterus, ovaries, the mucus of the cervix. In healthy women, the excretion of the secretion of a normal physiological phenomenon. Only change in the different phases of menstrual cycle. In some cases, the appearance of the women, a water flow is normal. But sometimes it's serious, because of the disease, the treatment success depends on timely diagnosis.
What could be the cause of the natural liquid discharge in women
The consistency and amount of secretions can vary, depending on the stage of the cycle. The density of the mucus produced by glands of the cervix depends on the balance of female hormones, ensure the production of ova maturation. Immediately after the end of the menstrual period comes the "dry" period. The minimum content of estrogen, the mucous plug is thick, the discharge is almost absent.
The increase in the level of estrogen in the development of the ovum, the discharge becomes watery, ovulation at the time of selection, to obtain the consistency of egg whites. The lowest density observed within a few days after ovulation (release of Mature the protective bubble). Liquid texture medium allows the free movement of the sperm towards the egg, the next step in the uterus. In this phase, the estrogen is reduced, the main role of progesterone, the function which provides the conditions for the further development of the embryo.
The best fastening of a fertilized egg in the uterus, the epithelial layer is swollen and will be moist. In the tissues increases the amount of fluid. All this leads to the appearance of the woman, transparent liquid flow to the genitals. At the end of the menstrual cycle, the mucus starts to thicken. If pregnancy does not occur, there is a rejection of the endometrium (the epithelial layer), menstruation occurs, a new cycle begins.
Thus, the appearance of a liquid, such as water, the discharge no smell closer to the middle of the second half of the cycle of physiological norm. In this case, the woman is not experiencing any discomfort.
Liquid, such as water, the distribution may appear in the following cases:
- the pregnancy;
- during sexual intercourse (due to an increase in the volume of natural lubrication during sexual arousal);
- as a result, the frequent change of sexual partners (due to changes in the vaginal flora);
- when the hormonal changes, because this can lead to the lack of regular sex life, prevention of pregnancy, and hormonotherapy drugs, antibiotics.
- the stress of climate change, affecting biochemical processes in a woman's body, including hormone production.
Watery discharge during pregnancy
The first trimester of pregnancy the level of progesterone remains high. This also prevents the emergence of new ova, and the embryo is held firmly to the uterus. Thus, the water flow usually doesn't happen.
12-13 week starts the increase in concentration of estrogen, which ensures the creation of new cells, the fetus, and parat the body of the woman in childbirth (changing the condition of the tissues of the cervix, it dissolves the mucous plug). The appearance of the women with a water flow of 2., 3. trimester of pregnancy of course, if colourless, odourless, is not accompanied by burning sensation, itching.
At the end of pregnancy liquid like water, the flow occur because of the mixing of mucus in the urine. The uterus, the fetus press on the bladder, causing it to not close completely.
When watery discharge during pregnancy is a sign of pathology
Threatening symptoms women:
- the appearance of watery discharge from the first weeks of pregnancy;
- the presence of the unpleasant odors (smelly, sour or fish);
- green, yellow, gray color (indicate that the presence of bacteria);
- brown or red discharge (internal bleeding);
- irritation, itching of the skin of the perineum, burning sensation in the vagina;
- foam or other unusual structure of the discharge;
- temperature rise;
- pain in the lower abdomen.
These signs may indicate that in the event of inflammation, infection, sexually transmitted infections. Creates a risk of miscarriage or in childbirth, the probability to infect the fetus in the passage through the birth canal.
Also: If these awful traits, women don't, but the choice, as the water, of a yellow color, sweet smell, it may indicate leakage of fluid from the amniotic sac. This condition is dangerous in the middle of pregnancy, the premature birth, fetal death. At the end of the pregnancy, the dripping evidence that the onset of labour.
What kind of diseases occur in women liquid discharge
The cause of water flow can be inflammation, infection of the genitals, the uterus and appendages.
Oophoritis – inflammation of the fallopian tubes, the ovaries. The result is damage to the hyperemia, scarring, the mucosa because of edema in the tissues. There is a narrowing of the lumen of the fallopian tubes and the violation of the obvious. It's hard to capture the eggs, moving them through the tubes into the uterus. Published in the areas of inflammation, fluid accumulates in the uterus and comes out in the form of tough, slimy mucus.
If the inflammation is not treated, becomes chronic, the distribution crebrescunt, becoming green-yellow in colour, the admixture of pus.
Bacterial vaginosis (gardnerellosis). This disease is associated with reproduction, the vagina, the pathogenic bacteria of the Gardnerella due to the disruption of the natural microflora. The reason for the infringement to be the problem douching, a change of sexual partners (defense) use, or inadequate contraception use of antibiotics.
Inflammation later spreads to the uterus, appendages. Characteristic symptoms of the disease wet, often yellow on the smell of the fish.
Note:the Gardnerella in moderation the norm is always present in the women. Dysbiosis contributes to the increased proliferation.
Candidiasis (thrush) - fungal infection in the vagina. The reproduction of the fungi present in the microflora due to dysbiosis. This gives rise to vaginitis (inflammation of vagina) or vulvovaginitis (simultaneous in case of failure of the external genital organs). The separation of the women cheese, sour smell. There is a strong burning sensation, swelling of the genitals, weakness. Painful, frequent urination.
The erosion of the cervix. The causes of erosion in many forms: the inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, damage to the cervix during the miscarriage, a birth. Mucous liquid secretion can be impurities of the blood. Advanced stages of become Muco-purulent.
Cervical inflammation. The inflammation of the cervix often accompanying erosion. There is a high risk of infection to a rising path to the uterus, appendages.
Cancer of the cervix. Abundant liquid, such as water, or the fact that the damaged tissue lymph leak.
Endometritis - associated diseases excessive growth of the inner lining of the uterus, proliferation of the tubes, even the abdominal cavity. This is the violation of the related processes, the ovaries, the hormone production. The water discharge with streaks of blood, unpleasant smell. These amplified before menstruation, right after appear them.
The sexually transmitted disease (infectious agents transmitted sexually). These are the following: gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and others. Selection of the initial phase of abundant, watery, unpleasant smell. The consequences for the women, with extensive inflammation to serious complications. Shall be treated both sexual partners.
