The vaginal discharge is sticky and viscous.

Leukorrhea appearing viscous may be caused by physiological reasons, or it could result from pathological conditions such as bacterial vaginosis or fungal vaginitis. Treatment depends on the specific situation. Details are as follows:

I. Physiological Causes

During ovulation or premenstrual periods, hormonal changes in women can lead to increased vaginal discharge that becomes thicker. This is generally considered a normal physiological phenomenon.

II. Pathological Causes

1. Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis may occur due to imbalance of the normal vaginal flora, leading to increased and thickened vaginal discharge accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Treatment under medical guidance may include medications such as metronidazole gel, tinidazole suppositories, or clindamycin-metronidazole lotion.

2. Fungal Vaginitis (Yeast Infection)

Fungal vaginitis is usually caused by Candida infection, resulting in curd-like leukorrhea accompanied by itching of the external genitalia. Under medical supervision, treatments may include clotrimazole suppositories, clotrimazole cream, or miconazole nitrate cream.

In addition, conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, or endometritis may also cause such symptoms. It is recommended that patients seek medical evaluation and receive treatment based on diagnostic results.
