    Excessive leucorrhea and lower abdominal pain may be related to vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, endometriosis, hormone level disorders, etc., which can be relieved by drug treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, etc. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and identify the cause of the disease and then treat it accordingly.

    1. Vaginitis

    Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and surrounding tissues, which may be related to bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis infection. Patients often present with increased leucorrhea, abnormal color, and odor, accompanied by vulvar itching or burning sensation. Lower abdominal pain is often caused by inflammation irritating the pelvic nerves. You can use metronidazole vaginal gel, clotrimazole vaginal tablets, Baofukang suppositories and other drugs to control infection as directed by your doctor. It is necessary to keep the perineum clean every day and avoid wearing tight chemical fiber underwear.

    2. Pelvic inflammatory disease

    Pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by ascending infection, related to pathogens such as gonococcus and chlamydia. Typical symptoms include persistent pain in the lower abdomen, increased purulent leucorrhea, and may be accompanied by fever or discomfort during urination. Recurrent inflammation may cause fallopian tube adhesions. Treatment requires the use of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium for injection and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets as directed by the doctor. Severe cases require hospitalization for intravenous administration. In the acute stage, you should stay in bed and avoid sexual intercourse.

    3. Cervicitis

    Cervicitis is often caused by mechanical injury or pathogenic infection. It manifests as thick and thick leucorrhea, bleeding after sexual intercourse, and dull pain in the lower abdomen that often radiates to the lumbosacral region. Chronic inflammation may lead to cervical hypertrophy or polyps. You can use anti-metritis tablets, polycresol sulfonate vaginal suppositories and other drugs as directed by your doctor, along with laser or cryotherapy. Bath bathing and swimming are prohibited during treatment, and cervical cytology examinations will be reviewed regularly.

    4. Endometriosis

    Endometriosis is a disease in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity and is common in women of childbearing age. Typical symptoms include severe abdominal pain and painful sexual intercourse during menstruation. Dull pelvic pain and brown leucorrhea may also occur during non-menstrual periods. Drugs such as dienogest tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can be used as directed by the doctor to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, laparoscopic surgery is required to remove the lesions. Daily hot compresses can be used to relieve pain and avoid overexertion.

    5. Hormone level disorders

    Hormonal changes during ovulation or early pregnancy may cause physiological increase in leucorrhea, accompanied by slight abdominal distension, usually without abnormal odor or itching. Emotional stress and endocrine disorders may also interfere with hormone balance. If pathological factors are excluded, it can be improved by adjusting work and rest, supplementing vitamin E soft capsules, etc. It is recommended to record changes in menstrual cycles to avoid abuse of hormonal drugs.

    When abnormal leucorrhea occurs along with abdominal pain, you should avoid douching the vagina or using antibiotics on your own. Wash your vulva with warm water every day, choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it in time. Reduce the intake of spicy foods and increase yogurt and other probiotic-containing foods. If the symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, you need to go to the gynecology department as soon as possible for routine leucorrhea, B-ultrasound and other examinations, and standard treatment after a clear diagnosis.
