    A white blood cell count of 2+ in leucorrhea examination usually indicates a mild inflammatory reaction in the vagina, which may be related to gynecological infectious diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis. Increased white blood cells in routine leucorrhea mainly reflects bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, cervicitis, mixed infections, etc. It is recommended to make a comprehensive judgment based on other examination indicators and seek medical treatment promptly for a clear diagnosis.

    1. Bacterial vaginosis

    Overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria such as Gardnerella vaginalis may result in 2+ white blood cells, often accompanied by thin gray-white discharge and a fishy odor. Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel or tinidazole suppositories can be used as directed by your doctor. Frequent vaginal douching must be avoided.

    2. Trichomonal vaginitis

    Trichomonas vaginalis infection can cause yellow-green foamy leucorrhea, and active trichomonas can be seen under the microscope. It is recommended to use oral metronidazole tablets combined with metronidazole vaginal suppositories, and sexual partners need to be treated simultaneously. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment and special toiletries should be used.

    3. Vulvovaginal candidiasis

    Candida albicans infection causes leukocytosis, and the typical symptoms are bean-dregs-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories or nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used. Diabetic patients need to control blood sugar at the same time.

    4. Cervicitis

    Inflammation of the cervical canal caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae may present with 2+ leukocytes and may be accompanied by contact bleeding. Azithromycin dispersible tablets, doxycycline tablets or ceftriaxone sodium injection treatment should be selected based on the pathogen detection results.

    5. Mixed infection

    White blood cells may be slightly elevated in mixed infections with multiple pathogens, and the cause needs to be determined through microbial culture. Treatment requires a combination of antibacterial and antifungal drugs such as fluconazole capsules combined with levofloxacin tablets. In severe cases, intravenous administration is required.

    You need to keep your vulva clean and dry on a daily basis. Choose cotton breathable underwear and change it daily. Avoid using alkaline lotions to rinse the vagina, and change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. The diet should be light, and appropriate amounts of fermented dairy products containing lactic acid bacteria should be supplemented. If there is an abnormal increase in secretions, aggravation of odor or burning pain in the vulva, routine leucorrhea examinations should be reviewed promptly and cervical cancer screening programs such as HPV and TCT should be improved. During the treatment period, strictly follow the doctor's instructions to complete the course of treatment, and it is prohibited to stop taking the medication or change the medication plan on your own.
