What to do if leucorrhea appears yellow-green

Leucorrhea is an important indicator of the female body. Abnormal leucorrhea also means that something is wrong with the body. So what is the matter with some friends who have yellow-green leucorrhea? Does this imply the occurrence of certain diseases? Let's relax and follow the text to understand the cause of this situation. I believe that after reading today's article, you will have a better understanding of leucorrhea. I also hope that everyone can help the women around you solve their physical problems. Well, let's start today's topic!

1. Possible abnormalities of leucorrhea:

1. Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is the main cause of pathological leucorrhea in women, accounting for about 50% of the increase in leucorrhea caused by vaginal inflammation. When the acidic environment of the vagina changes and the number of normally existing lactobacilli decreases or disappears, anaerobic bacteria multiply in large numbers, causing symptoms.

The vaginal discharge caused by bacterial vaginosis has a peculiar fishy odor, which becomes worse after sexual intercourse. The color is mainly grayish white or grayish yellow, thinner and more uniform.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis

If the leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green, thin, foamy and purulent, and is accompanied by unbearable itching of the vulva and vagina, the possibility of Trichomonas vaginitis is very high. Trichomonas vaginitis is transmitted through contact, and sexual contact is one of the most important routes of infection. Vaginal secretion testing can confirm the diagnosis.

3. Fungal vaginitis

Once the not-so-excessive leucorrhea appears in the form of a thick white paste or curd, and a white film can be found at the outer opening of the vagina, and a rough red eroded surface can be seen after wiping off the white film, then you need to be careful about candidal vaginitis. Candidal vaginitis is usually a vaginal inflammation caused by Candida albicans, and laboratory tests can help to confirm the diagnosis.

The treatment of candidal vaginitis is to target the fungus, but most antifungal drugs are hepatotoxic. This must be paid attention to, because some antifungal drugs are quite hepatotoxic.

4. Gonorrheal vaginitis

Gonorrheal vaginitis can also be treated with drugs, mainly penicillin antibiotics, but these drugs are prone to allergic reactions. Even if you are not allergic to penicillin, you may be allergic to other synthetic penicillins and other similar drugs, so a skin test must be done before use. If infected with gonococcal vaginitis, a large amount of purulent secretions can be seen in the vulva when squeezing the urethra, paraurethral glands or Bartholin's glands. Microscopic examination can help confirm the diagnosis.

5. Chronic cervicitis or cervical erosion

Strictly speaking, although chronic cervicitis or cervical erosion is not vaginitis, cervicitis or cervical erosion often leads to increased cervical secretions. When the secretions flow out of the vagina, it is often mistaken for increased vaginal secretions and leads to consultation and treatment in the hospital. In fact, among women who go to the hospital for consultation because of "increased leucorrhea", about 1/4 of the cases are cervicitis.

6. Leucorrhea caused by foreign body irritation

Placing a pessary in the vagina, using tampons, or leaving gauze or other items in the vagina after childbirth or vaginal surgery can block the vaginal exit and cause inflammation of the leucorrhea, or even a foul odor.

Necrosis of the ligature end of the surgical suture can also cause purulent leucorrhea, which may also have a foul odor. This situation can only be improved after the necrotic tissue falls off completely.

7. Tumorous leucorrhea

Red, bloody vaginal discharge with a foul odor is often caused by a malignant tumor in the uterus. Such as the common cervical cancer. The famous Hong Kong singer Anita Mui died young due to cervical cancer.

For the treatment of abnormal leucorrhea caused by tumors, the treatment of the tumor is the key. For common gynecological tumors such as cervical cancer, common tumor treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy can be used. The bacteria are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and are transmitted to women, forming gonococcal vaginitis.

8. Other situations

If there is a sinus between the vagina and the urethra or rectum, urine and feces can irritate the vagina and cause inflammation, resulting in increased discharge.

In short, once the above symptoms or other abnormal conditions appear, you must be vigilant and it is best to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying treatment.

2. Treat the symptoms

Cooperation with the doctor is the key

Even if the diagnosis of vaginitis is confirmed by laboratory tests or bacterial culture, you don't need to worry too much. Except for malignant tumors, most vaginitis can be cured with timely treatment. But you need to be reminded that early diagnosis and timely treatment are very important.

In order to help the doctor reach the correct conclusion, you need to cooperate with the doctor in the following aspects.

1. You should answer the doctor's questions correctly, such as the amount and cycle of menstruation; the color and smell of leucorrhea and whether it is accompanied by itching symptoms; whether you have had the same symptoms before, whether he also suffers from urinary and reproductive system diseases, etc.

2. It is also important to cooperate with the doctor for physical examination. In addition to using conventional means of examination, doctors will also use some related instruments, such as vaginal speculum and other special instruments for examination, and may even collect some leucorrhea specimens for bacterial culture or pathological examination.

3. The doctor may also ask him in detail whether there are any abnormal conditions, so it is best to go to the doctor with him.

Restore the color of vaginal discharge

Under the premise of a clear diagnosis, the most important treatment for pathological leucorrhea is to deal with the primary disease or specific pathogens.

If microscopic examination confirms the presence of Trichomonas infection, drug therapy is a relatively common treatment method. Common drugs include metronidazole, tinidazole, etc.

If pathological leucorrhea is caused by a foreign body, the foreign body should be removed promptly and antibacterial drugs should be used if necessary to prevent and treat secondary bacterial infection.

For sinuses in the vagina, urethra or rectum, surgical resection is the best cure, and certain antibacterial drugs should also be used to avoid secondary bacterial infection.

Well, after so much analysis, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of leucorrhea. There are many cases, so we require everyone to treat the symptoms, do not be afraid to see a doctor, and solve the problems in time. Finally, I wish everyone a healthy body and wish everyone can be happy in study and work!
