Why Is a Womans Vagina Always Damp and Wet?

Female vaginal secretions are often excessive, resulting in a wet feeling and leaving excessive secretions on underwear. There are many factors that can contribute to this condition, and it is usually related to inflammation. Many gynecological diseases can lead to excessive vaginal secretions in women. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination and relevant tests such as vaginal ultrasonography. Let's briefly understand the reasons for this condition.

Why is the vagina always wet?

1. Vaginitis: The vagina is a private area that needs to be cared for. At the same time, as a common disease, vaginitis also troubles women of different ages. The secretions of bacterial vaginitis are watery or grayish-white, gray, with a rotten egg odor or fishy odor; the secretions of fungal vaginitis are bean curd residue-like, white or yellowish-green masses; the secretions of trichomoniasis vaginitis are foamy or thin, purulent, and malodorous.

2. Cervicitis: Cervicitis can be divided into chronic and acute forms. For chronic cervicitis, if there are no abnormalities in TCT and HPV, observation and regular follow-up are sufficient. For acute cervicitis, besides increased vaginal secretions, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as local congestion and pain. Antibiotics should be used in sufficient dosages and durations based on the cause and pathogen. If the pathogen is Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, sexual partners also need to be treated together.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease: Pelvic inflammatory disease, also known as pelvic inflammatory disease, may have no symptoms or only lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal secretions in mild cases. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by fever or urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination. The main treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease is antibiotics, and doctors will choose intravenous or oral administration based on the patient's condition. However, it is important to remember that antibiotics must be used in sufficient dosages and durations and not discontinued prematurely to avoid delaying treatment.

4. Cervical lesions: Cervical lesions such as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, cervical polyps, cervical myoma, and cervical cancer can also lead to increased or abnormal secretion of cervical glands, resulting in increased vaginal secretions.

5. Uterine and fallopian tube lesions: Diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and fallopian tube cancer can lead to endometrial gland hyperplasia and enlarged uterine cavity area, similar to cervical lesions, resulting in increased vaginal secretions. In the case of fallopian tube cancer, abnormal vaginal discharge may occur.
