The slightly acidic vaginal environment and its natural microflora inhibit the development of pathogens that enters from the outside. Protection against the penetration of further infection in the uterus and the ovaries, is the mucus in the neck of the uterus. For healthy women, the excretion of mucus, which is a physiological phenomenon normal. Only changes in the different phases of the menstrual cycle. In some cases, the appearance of women have a watery discharge is normal. But sometimes, they are a serious cause 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 vary according to the phase of the cycle. The density of mucus produced by the glands of the cervix depends on the balance of female hormones, guarantee the production and maturation of oocytes. Immediately after the end of menstruation comes "dry" period. The minimum content of estrogen, the mucus plug is the most dense, the discharge is almost absent.
The growth in the level of estrogen and the maturation of the egg, the discharge becomes more watery, and at the time of ovulation selection acquire the consistency of egg whites. The lowest density was observed on several days after ovulation (release of Mature eggs from the protection of the bubble). Liquid texture medium allows the free passage of the sperm towards the egg, and its subsequent move to the uterus. In this phase, the estrogen decreases, the main role of progesterone, the function of which is to guarantee the conditions for the development of the embryo.
For the best fixing of a fertilized egg in the womb of its layer epithelial swells and becomes friable. In the tissue increases the amount of liquid. All this leads to the appearance of the woman clear fluid discharge from the genital organs. At the end of the menstrual cycle the mucus begins to thicken. If pregnancy does not occur, there is a rejection of the endometrium (the layer epithelial), occurs the menstruation, a new cycle begins.
Therefore, the appearance of liquid, such as water, the discharge no smell near the half and the second half of the cycle is the physiological norm. In this case, the woman is not observed any trouble.
Liquid, such as water, the allocation may appear as in the following cases:
- during pregnancy;
- during sexual intercourse (due to an increase in the volume of lubrication naturally during sexual arousal);
- as a result of the frequent change of sexual partners (due to changes in the flora vaginal);
- when hormonal changes cause that can lead to the absence of regular sex life, prevention of pregnancy, and the use of hormonotherapy drugs and antibiotics.
- due to stress, change of climate, which influence the biochemical processes in a woman's body, including hormone production.
Watery discharge during pregnancy
In the first trimester of pregnancy the level of progesterone remains high. This also prevents the maturation of new oocytes, and the embryo is held firmly in the uterus. In order to watery discharge usually does not happen.
12-13 week starts the increase in the concentration of estrogen, which guarantees the creation of new cells of the fetus and stopped the body of the woman for the part (which changes the condition of the tissues of the cervix, liquefies the mucus plug). The appearance of women have a watery discharge in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy, of course, if they are colorless, odorless, not accompanied by burning, itching.
At the end of pregnancy fluid, such as water, discharge occur due to the mixing of mucus with the urine. The uterus and fetus press on the bladder, causing it not to close completely.
When watery discharge during pregnancy is a sign of the pathology
Threat symptoms in women are:
- the appearance of watery discharge from the first few weeks of pregnancy;
- the presence of unpleasant odors (putrid, sour or fish);
- green, yellow, gray colour indicates the presence of bacteria);
- brown or red discharge (signs of internal bleeding);
- the irritation and itching of the skin of the perineum, burning sensation in the vagina;
- foam or other unusual structure of the discharge;
- increase of temperature;
- pain in the lower part of the abdomen.
These signs can indicate the existence of inflammation, infection with venereal infections. Creates a risk of miscarriage or complications during childbirth, the probability of infecting the fetus during passage through the birth canal.
More: If all of these terrible traits in women that do not, but the selection like water, has a yellow colour and sweet smell, it may indicate leakage of fluid from the amniotic SAC. This condition is dangerous in the course of the pregnancy, causing premature birth, death, fetal. At the end of the pregnancy, the dripping evidence of the appearance of the work.
In what diseases occur in women liquid discharge
The cause of watery discharge can be inflammation and infection of the treatment of genital, the uterus and appendages.
Oophoritis – inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The result is damage to the engorgement and scarring of the membrane to the mucosa, can cause edema of the tissues. There is a narrowing of the light of the fallopian tubes and the violation of their patency. Difficult to capture the eggs and moving them through the pipes to the womb. Published in the areas of inflammation, fluid accumulates in the uterus and comes out in the form of heavy mucous secretions.
If the inflammation is not treated, it becomes chronic, the allocation crebrescunt, becoming green-yellow, the colour of the mixture of the pus.
Vaginosis bacterial (gardnerellosis). This disease is associated with reproduction in the vagina of pathogenic bacteria and the Gardnerella because of the disruption of the microflora naturally. The cause of the breach may be the wrong douching, change of sexual partners (sexual practices), the inappropriate use of contraceptives use of antibiotics.
Inflammation later spreads to the uterus and appendages. A symptom characteristic of this disease are watery, often yellow-along with the smell of fish.
Note: Gardnerella to the moderation in the norm are always present in women. Dysbiosis contributes to their enhanced proliferation.
Candidiasis (thrush) - fungal infection of the vagina. The reproduction of the fungus present in the microflora due to dysbiosis. This gives rise to vaginitis (inflammation of vagina) or vulvovaginitis (simultaneous failure of the external genitalia). The separation of the women are cheesy, have a smell sour. There is a strong burning feeling, inflammation of the genitals, weakness. It becomes painful and frequent urination.
The erosion of the neck of the womb. The causes of erosion are multiple: inflammatory and infectious diseases, injury to the cervix during abortion and childbirth. Mucous liquid secretion can have impurities of the blood. In advanced stages they become Muco-purulent.
Cervicitis. Inflammation of the neck of the uterus, often accompanied by erosion. There is a great risk of infection for an increase on the way to the uterus and appendages.
Cancer of the cervix. Copious, liquid, such as water, are due to the fact that in the damaged tissue filter the lymph.
Endometritis - diseases associated with excess of growth of the inner lining of the uterus, with its proliferation in pipes and even in the abdominal cavity. This violated the processes associated with the ovaries, and the production of hormones. The water discharge has traces of blood, unpleasant smell. Are amplified before menstruation, appear immediately after them.
Sexually transmitted disease (infectious agents transmitted sexually). These include: gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and others. Selection in the initial phase of the profuse, watery, with an unpleasant odor. The consequences in women are extensive inflammation with serious complications. Must be treated, for both sexual partner.
