What is the reason for yellow leucorrhea and odor?

The leucorrhea of ​​adolescent girls is clear and transparent, but why is my leucorrhea yellow and has an odor now? This is really a painful thing for many women. This has caused certain troubles in the lives of many people. With the doubts raised by many women, I have searched for a lot of information on this aspect, hoping to give everyone an answer. Now, let’s follow the editor to learn about what causes yellow and smelly leucorrhea.

Yellow and smelly leucorrhea is a warning to women's health: Yellow leucorrhea is often a sign of reproductive tract infection, usually bacterial infection. Common ones include vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, and acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Red vaginal discharge: Red vaginal discharge is often a sign of genital tract bleeding. The redder the color and the larger the amount, the more severe the bleeding. If young women have red vaginal discharge, it is mostly caused by infection or trauma; if older women have red vaginal discharge, in addition to infection, they should also consider malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. If pregnant women have red vaginal discharge, they should be alert to miscarriage or premature birth. Yellow-green vaginal discharge: People with vaginal trichomoniasis often have yellow-green or gray-green vaginal discharge, and the secretions are foamy. These patients also have severe vulvar itching and burning. Normal leucorrhea maintains a certain viscosity. During ovulation or pregnancy, the discharge is often thin and clear, and can be pulled into long threads.

Abnormal leucorrhea, yellow leucorrhea with odor, is usually a manifestation of genital tract inflammation. Married women generally have a higher chance of infection, which is largely related to their frequent sexual life. The man does not wash his hands when caressing with his hands, and his nails are too long to harbor dirt; both parties or one of them does not pay attention to cleaning the lower body before intercourse, especially the man has poor hygiene habits; the man suffers from phimosis or foreskin is too long, and is lazy to urinate and clean after intercourse, etc. These are all important reasons for abnormal leucorrhea in women.

Abnormal leucorrhea, yellow leucorrhea and odor. The color, smell and nature of leucorrhea can be used to preliminarily determine the type of pathogenicity: in case of purulent bacterial infection, the leucorrhea is purulent, yellow or yellow-green, sticky and pus-like, with a foul odor, such as senile vaginitis, endometritis, pyometra, the currently quite common gonococcal vaginitis, and non-gonococcal vaginitis (chlamydia infection). In case of fungal infection, the leucorrhea will be in the form of tofu dregs and accompanied by obvious vulvar itching, such as Candida infection. When infected with Trichomonas, the leucorrhea will be milky white and foamy, and the vagina will be extremely itchy.

However, the symptoms of abnormal leucorrhea, yellow leucorrhea with odor are not as typical as described above, and mixed infections often occur. Therefore, it is impossible to make a clear diagnosis based on simple appearance judgment. It is best to go to the gynecology department for a routine examination in order to get a clear diagnosis and timely treatment. Especially when both parties or one of them has a history of unclean sexual intercourse, they should actively seek medical treatment, preferably in the dermatology and venereology department to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. At present, the medical community has corresponding effective drugs for bacterial (including gonococcal), fungal, and Trichomonas vaginal infections, so after finding out the cause, highly targeted and effective treatment can be obtained. Patients with bloody leucorrhea, especially those who are older or have reached menopause, should be more vigilant and seek medical attention as early as possible to avoid delaying the diagnosis and treatment of the tumor. In addition, it should be pointed out that couples suffering from gonorrhea or trichomoniasis must be treated together. Otherwise, if only the woman is treated, the man will still be a carrier of the bacteria or pathogenic microorganisms, and the woman may be reinfected through sexual intercourse after she is cured.

After reading this, I believe you will have a basic understanding of yellow leucorrhea with odor. If any readers have questions about this, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. Early detection and early treatment are best. You must pay attention to hygiene habits in your daily life. Not only women should pay attention to this, but men should also pay attention to maintaining their own hygiene habits, which is also a responsible approach to the health of their partners. Finally, I wish you all good health.
