    The cleanliness of leucorrhea in routine examination is within the normal range, indicating that the vaginal microecology is basically balanced. The cleanliness is divided into four levels. The second level means that the proportion of white blood cells and epithelial cells in the vaginal secretions is moderate, and it may contain a small amount of miscellaneous bacteria but no pathogenic bacteria.

    Vaginal cleanliness is an important indicator for evaluating the vaginal microenvironment, and the composition of secretions is observed through a microscope. In the second degree of cleanliness, 5-15 white blood cells can be seen per high-power field, epithelial cells occupy a larger proportion of the field of view, and a small number of Gram-positive cocci or bacilli may be detected. This condition is common in healthy women during the period when estrogen levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, or during daily mild fatigue. Most women don't need special treatment, just keep the vulva clean and dry.

    If it is accompanied by vulvar itching, odor or abnormal color of secretions, the second degree of cleanliness may indicate the early stage of potential microecological imbalance. This condition may be related to recent antibiotic use, frequent vaginal douching, or a temporary decrease in immunity. It is recommended to review the routine leucorrhea and make a comprehensive judgment based on indicators such as pH value and hydrogen peroxide concentration. If necessary, Lactobacillus preparations can be supplemented to adjust the bacterial flora.

    You should choose cotton breathable underwear and change it daily, and avoid using alkaline lotions to clean the vulva. Pay attention to cleanliness before and after sex, and change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Appropriate intake of fermented dairy products containing probiotics in the diet, and control the intake of high-sugar foods. If discomfort persists or the cleanliness progresses to grade three or above, you need to see a gynecologist for further examination in time.
