1. Leucorrhea and
Tubal Blockage: Is
It a Reliable
Indicator
Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TCM Clinic

2. Leucorrhea is the secretion of
female genitalia, which is mainly
secreted by the glands of the labia,
vagina, and cervix. A small amount
of this is secreted by the
endometrium. It is a white,
flocculent, viscous fluid that keeps
the vagina and vulva moist.

3. Abnormal leucorrhea is a symptom
of blocked fallopian tubes. Fallopian
tube blockage can cause local
inflammation, leading to a vaginal
endocrine increase, such as
leucorrhea. But abnormal leucorrhea
does not necessarily mean that the
fallopian tube is blocked.

4. Abnormal leucorrhea may be
related to the raised hormone
levels in the body during pregnancy
or ovulation, which belongs to the
normal situation and generally does
not require special treatment.
Focusing on personal hygiene and
changing clothes frequently in daily
life is necessary.
Abnormal leucorrhea, such
as the abnormal amount of
leucorrhea, color, and
texture changes, may be
related to the following
conditions:

5. Infections of bacteria will cause
bacterial vaginitis, making the
leucorrhea show a gray-white,
gray-yellow, with thin texture. The
leucorrhea will often adhere to the
forearm or side walls of the
vagina, with a fishy smell, and this
smell will be incredibly intense
during intercourse.

6. The leucorrhea of colpomycosis
may appear white, thick, or curdy,
the vaginal walls may appear
reddish, and some areas may be
covered by diphtheria - like a
diaphragm.

7. Infections of trichomonas will
make the color of the leucorrhea
yellow or yellow-green, thin
texture, sometimes like foam.
Gonorrhea vaginitis causes the
leucorrhea to become yellow and
overly sticky. If you squeeze the
urethra or paraurethral glands,
purulent fluid will be discharged.

8. The placement of a pessary in the
vagina and the placement of gauze
or cotton balls after vaginal surgery
can also lead to the secretion of
vaginal leucorrhea with a foul odor.
Besides, purulent leucorrhea with
odor smell will also occur after
vaginal surgery or hysterectomy,
which will not improve until the
condition recovers.

9. Cervicitis, cervical ectropion, and
cervical cancer will also cause pelvic
cavity or uterus congestion, and the
cervical glands and endometrial
function become hyperactive,
secreting much mucus. When
the cervicitis develops to the later
period, a large amount of malignant
leucorrhea with bloody-water
appearance and odor smell will be
discharged.

10. At the same time, in addition to
abnormal leucorrhea, blocked
fallopian tubes can cause other
symptoms.

11. Abdominal discomfort: there will be
different degrees of pain in the
abdomen when the fallopian tube is
blocked, and some people may
become uncomfortable, such as
swelling in the waist and back and
sacral part, falling feeling, and pain.

12. Dysmenorrhea: long-term chronic
fallopian tube inflammation can lead to
pelvic congestion, resulting in blood
stasis dysmenorrhea. Abdominal pain
will occur one week before
menstruation. The pain worsens as
you get closer to your period and will
disappear until your period starts.

13. Irregular menstruation: fallopian tubes
and ovary are adjacent. When the
oviduct inflammation spreads to the
ovaries, the ovarian function will
cause varying degrees of damage,
resulting in abnormal menstruation.
Among them, menstruation with high
frequency and excessive amount is
most common.

14. Infertility: The fallopian tubes play an
essential role in transporting sperm,
ingesting eggs, and carrying fertilized
eggs to the uterine cavity. When the
fallopian tubes are damaged by
disease, that is, the formation of
obstruction, it will obstacle the
passage of sperm and fertilized eggs,
resulting in infertility.

15. Apart from infertility, dysmenorrhea,
and other symptoms, serious
blockage of the fallopian tubes can
also lead to painful intercourse,
gastrointestinal disorders, fatigue,
affected labor or unendurable labor,
psychiatric symptoms, and mental
depression. To cure blocked fallopain
tubes, herbal medicine Fuyan Pill can
be a nice option.

16. It is impossible to determine whether
the fallopian tube is blocked only by
the status of leucorrhea. Relevant
personnel must seek medical attention
in time and conduct relevant
examinations in the hospital, such as
fluid infusion of fallopian tubes,
hysterosalpingography, and
gynecological endoscopic fallopian
tube patency examination for
confirmation.
