Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Watery vaginal discharge may be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Ovulation: During the ovulation period, women may experience increased vaginal discharge that is watery in consistency. This is typically odorless and considered a normal physiological phenomenon that does not require special treatment.
2. Vaginitis: Due to vaginal flora imbalance or pathogen infection, vaginal discharge may increase, becoming watery, and accompanied by symptoms such as odor and vaginal itching.
3. Cervicitis: Cervicitis can cause vaginal discharge to become watery, increase in amount, and have an odor, usually caused by pathogen infection.
4. Endometritis: Endometritis may affect the secretion of the endometrial glands, leading to increased discharge that appears watery, accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and menstrual irregularities.
If watery vaginal discharge is accompanied by discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
