    Leucorrhea cleanliness IV refers to a significant increase in the number of inflammatory cells and bacteria during microscopic examination of vaginal secretions, indicating the presence of obvious vaginal inflammation. The cleanliness of leucorrhea is divided into grades I-IV. Degree IV is the most serious abnormality and is usually related to infections such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, etc. Clinical symptoms and other laboratory tests are required for a clear diagnosis.

    1. Bacterial vaginosis

    Bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of IV vaginal discharge, mainly caused by the reduction of lactobacilli in the vagina and the overproduction of anaerobic bacteria. The typical manifestation is gray-white homogeneous secretion with a fishy odor, and the pH value usually exceeds 4.5. Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream or tinidazole suppositories can be used for treatment. At the same time, vaginal washing must be avoided to disrupt the microecological balance.

    2. Trichomonal vaginitis

    Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection and manifests as yellow-green foamy discharge with obvious itching, and active trichomonas can be seen under the microscope. Oral metronidazole tablets or topical tinidazole suppositories are the main treatments. Sexual partners need to be treated simultaneously to prevent repeated infections. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment and pure cotton breathable underwear should be used.

    3. Vulvovaginal candidiasis

    Excessive proliferation of Candida can cause leucorrhea to change like bean dregs, with cleanliness reaching IV degree, often accompanied by vulvar burning pain and discomfort during urination. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories or nystatin vaginal suppositories can effectively inhibit fungi. People with diabetes need to control blood sugar simultaneously. Daily intake of high-sugar foods should be reduced.

    4. Mixed vaginal infection

    Some patients may have mixed bacterial, fungal or protozoal infections at the same time, manifesting as cleanliness level IV with complex symptoms. The combination of pathogens needs to be clarified through secretion culture, and combined medications such as fluconazole capsules and metronidazole preparations are used. In this case, it is recommended to review the cleanliness after completing the full course of treatment.

    5. Other pathological factors

    Ascending infections such as cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause abnormal cleanliness of leucorrhea, which may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain or bleeding after intercourse. In addition to local vaginal treatment, oral antibiotics such as cefixime dispersible tablets or doxycycline tablets are required if necessary. People with long-term abnormal cleanliness should be checked for underlying diseases such as low immune function.

    If you find that the cleanliness of your leucorrhea is IV, you need to seek medical attention promptly for etiological examination to avoid aggravating the bacterial flora disorder caused by self-medication. During the treatment period, keep the vulva dry and clean, change pure cotton underwear every day and wash it with boiling water, and avoid using sanitary products containing fragrance. Add yogurt and other probiotic-containing foods to your diet, and reduce the intake of spicy and high-sugar foods. When sexual partners have symptoms, they should receive examination and treatment together. It is recommended to suspend sexual life until they are cured. After completing the treatment, the leucorrhea needs to be reviewed routinely to confirm the recovery of cleanliness. If the abnormality persists, the treatment plan may need to be adjusted or further examination may be required.
