*** Always wet ~ The 4 major reasons for excessive leucorrhea in summer, what is the first one?

Every summer, it is common for female friends to experience an increase in leucorrhea, resulting in wet panties. The sticky feeling that cannot be shaken off makes everything annoying! Throughout the year, why do girls have so much vaginal discharge in summer? If you guessed the answer is "love sweets or eat too much ice", you are wrong!

As the saying goes: "Ten women have nine vaginal discharges". All women will have vaginal discharge, which is the so-called "leucorrhea". However, the normal amount of leucorrhea is very small. Once it is excessive, it will make the private parts obvious. If you feel uncomfortable, be careful because it may be a health warning sent by your body.

However, why are female friends particularly prone to having more leucorrhea in summer? Lin Qinyi, director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Lukang Christian Hospital, observed clinical experience and listed 4 conditions that are likely to cause an increase in leucorrhea in summer, and ranked them as follows according to the proportion of occurrence:

No. 1/Love to wear tight pants: Whether it is to show handsomeness, look thin, or simply for ease of movement, wearing pants that are too tight, including ***, can easily turn the private parts into a stuffy environment, which can encourage The growth of bacteria and mold increases the risk of vaginal infection leading to vaginal discharge.

No.2/Changes in the weather: The weather is hot in summer, and people’s physical fitness will also be affected. Some people are prone to fatigue, poor resistance, and loss of appetite. This is often related to "weakness of the spleen and stomach." Although the leucorrhea becomes more abundant, the color is clear like water or white. Another group of women have a constitution of "liver-qi stagnation" and suffer from premenstrual syndrome on weekdays. When the weather gets hot, the discomfort is easily aggravated and the vaginal discharge becomes more abundant and yellowish in color.

No.3／Love to eat cold food: It is human nature to "eat ice when it is hot and eat pot when it is cold". However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if you often consume too much cold food, Although cold food can satisfy temporary appetite, it may affect the function of the spleen and stomach in the long term, form a phlegm-damp constitution, lead to an increase in vaginal secretions, and increase the risk of private infection.

In addition, if they have the habit of staying up late and lack of sleep for a long time, it is easy to develop phlegm or dampness. A damp and hot constitution leads to a weakened resistance, allowing bad bacteria inside the penis and near the private parts to take advantage of and cause trouble.

In addition to the summer factors mentioned above, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle will also affect the amount of leucorrhea. Lin Qinyi, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that although vaginal discharge will be slightly more in the first few days of menstruation, if it is too much, it is likely to be caused by stagnation of liver qi. It is recommended to drink tangerine peel rose tea or lotus seed lily in moderation. Soup to prepare. If there is an abnormal increase in secretions before and after the ovulation period (the second week after the end of the menstrual period), it is usually due to a weak spleen and stomach. Moderate consumption of Pai Rib Soup and Sishen Soup can help improve the condition. Regular intake of too much cold food may affect the function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in a phlegm-damp constitution, leading to increased vaginal secretions.
