Instead, monthly, white discharge: Possible reasons for a negative test, diagnostics

Menstruation, or, as they say, monthly - is a natural change in a woman's body, which are necessary for normal conception and birth of a child. If the girl has appeared instead of monthly white discharge, so there was a failure in the hormonal background or in the structure of the genital organs.

Why are white discharge, and no monthly

The presence of a small amount of white discharge before menstruation is the absolute norm. They do not cause women discomfort, do not cause a burning sensation and pain. They are called belyami.

What are the reasons that there is no menstruation, but there is a white discharge? The most obvious answer - pregnancy. Indeed, the sharp increase in progesterone levels after fertilization prevents changes in the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterus).

The easiest way to learn about the presence of pregnancy by means of a rapid test. Its essence consists in measuring the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body. Its number increases dramatically in a few weeks after conception.

The emergence of heavy white discharge, instead of monthly in this case serves to protect the baby from infection. But if discharge is too much, they are yellowish or unpleasant smell should consult a gynecologist.

Attention! This symptom may indicate a uterine infection with pathogens.

No monthly, white discharge, but the test is negative

Pregnancy - the most common, but not the only reason for the delay monthly for 2 or more days, and the occurrence of white discharge. This symptom may cause the following pathologies:

1. Endocrinological pathology - a violation of the level of sex hormones in the body.
2. Dramatic weight loss, which leads to an excessive reduction in blood cholesterol levels. A cholesterol - the main component of the sex hormones.
3. Inflammatory infectious diseases of the reproductive system. Nature of the discharge varies depending on the nature of the disease: bacterial, viral or fungal.
4. Cancer cervix or uterine body disease.
5. Congenital anomalies of the structure of the female reproductive system.
6. Menopause - age change that is waiting for each girl. When it is rearranged in hormonal levels.
7. Chronic stress and nerve failures. Excessive exercise.

hormonal disorders

Hormones - biologically active substances which regulate all the processes in the human body. Monthly occurrence of menstruation in women control these hormones:

• GnRH and gonadostatiny - produced in the hypothalamus (brain structure);
• gonadotropic hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) - are synthesized in the pituitary gland (also part of the brain);
• estrogen and progesterone - are produced by the corpus luteum and follicles of the ovaries, respectively.

Also a big role in the emergence of monthly play adrenal hormones and thyroid.

The presence of pathology in any of these levels may result in a delay monthly for 6 or more days, and the appearance of white precipitates.

The table below shows the frequently encountered hormonal disorders and their symptoms.

hormonal disorders	typical manifestations
Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction	a sharp increase in body weight (up to obesity); menstrual disorders; lack of milk in nursing mothers; difficulties in conceiving a child.
ovarian sklerokistoz	bloating because of the increased size of the ovaries; infertility; increased growth of hair on the body; masculinization (a woman is like a man); obesity; absence of menstrual periods.
hyperandrogenism	Symptoms are similar to those of sklerokistoz, but there is an increase in blood levels of male hormones - androgens, which are synthesized in the adrenal glands.
hyperprolactinemia	violation of lactation; lack of ovulation, resulting in infertility; hypoplasia of the external genitalia.

gynecological pathology

Diseases of the female reproductive organs can cause false amenorrhea. In this state the hormonal background of women in normal endometrium and the cyclic changes occur regularly. The problem is that the changes in the organs do not allow the blood to go out, and instead of monthly appear white discharge, odorless.

The young girls who never menstruate, the cause may be the following factors:

1. Imperforate hymen.
2. Absence or substantial narrowing of the vaginal walls (atresia).

These changes are congenital in nature and are removed surgically.

In older women who have had periods before a delay may occur due to scarring of the uterus changes or uterine throat after surgery.

Delayed menses and the occurrence of white mucous discharge streaked with blood should alert a woman, especially if she is over 40 years old. This is one of the symptoms of cancer of the neck and body of the uterus changes.

Important! If you experience white discharge streaked with blood should seek emergency medical attention to rule out cancer of the genital organs.

infection

Common cause of menstrual disorders and occurrence of white discharge - an infection of the urinary organs.

Increase the risk of infection by microorganisms such factors:

• promiscuity;
• lack of barrier contraceptives (condom) during sexual intercourse;
• hypothermia;
• and other inflammatory diseases of the body, lowering immunity;
• lack of personal hygiene.

To catch an infection of the urogenital system is easy, but get rid of it once and for all heavier. Many diseases are prone to chronic current and constant relapses. To avoid this, you need to start treatment as early as possible.

Suspect the presence of a specific infection will help the character of white discharge during menstruation delay.

The presence of white cheese selections instead of monthly shows candidiasis. In people it is called thrush. In this disease a secret very thick and looks like pieces of cheese. Also, a woman concerned about the itching, swelling and redness of the external genitalia.

Delayed menstruation with the presence of white discharge and minor irritation of genitals may indicate bacterial vaginosis. Allocation in this case are very unpleasant, fishy odor.

The appearance of abundant turbid white discharge characteristic of an infection such as ureaplasmosis.

The age

Delayed menstruation 4 days and more with white discharge in women older than 45 years will almost certainly mean an offensive premenopausal. This first stage of menopause, in which the periods are still ongoing but very irregular. The final cessation of menstruation occurs during menopause, which usually occurs in 50 - 53 year.

In addition to violations of menstruation rhythm of the menopause symptoms such talk:

• hot flashes;
• sweating;
• loss of skin elasticity;
• brittle bones;
• excessive weakness;
• emotional instability.

Climax - these are natural changes in the body that await every woman. If symptoms are too strong and interfere with daily activities, they can be eliminated with the help of hormones.

Stress

The appearance of white discharge instead of normal menstruation possible after severe nerve experiences. Moreover, the absence of menstruation as the cause, chronic stress, and a one-off, a strong nervous shock. As a rule, short-term disturbances of the menstrual cycle. They are alone in normalizing mental health.

What to do

To restore normal menstrual cycle, it is necessary to find out the cause of the breach.

If monthly with white clots were due to infection, the treatment is aimed at eliminating the pathogen:

• confirmed that when the nature of bacterial diseases Antibiotics ( "Ofloxacin", "azithromycin");
• during viral etiology - antivirals ( "Acyclovir");
• when a fungal disease - antifungal ( "Nystatin" "Fluconazole").

In the presence of white precipitates due to hormonal disorders, treatment is the application of replacement therapy. There are three methods of receiving hormones:

1. Estrogen or progesterone.
2. Combination therapy in a cyclic mode.
3. Combination therapy in continuous mode.

Important! Proper hormone regimen is adjusted individually by a qualified technician.

If, instead of monthly white discharge were due to stress, it may require treatment by a psychologist or psychotherapist.

Diagnosing the problem

Diagnosis at a delay of menstruation for a week and the white precipitates with a negative pregnancy test requires an integrated approach. To accurately determine the cause of the white secretion, using such methods:

• gynecological examination;
• ultrasonography (US) of the pelvic organs;
• Ultrasonography of the adrenal and thyroid gland;
• determining the level of sex hormones in the blood;
• genetic testing (if you suspect the presence of the structure of congenital anomalies of genitals);
• cytology (for suspected cancer of the cervix).

prevention

Disruption of the menstrual cycle and the appearance of white secretions easier to prevent than to cure. To do this, follow these rules:

1. Avoid hypothermia.
2. Carefully apply to the choice of sexual partners and use barrier contraception.
3. Rational to eat.
