What's wrong with the yellow discharge?

I believe that many female friends have experienced this phenomenon, that is, yellow watery leucorrhea, but do you know what the yellow watery leucorrhea is? Now let me lead everyone to understand what causes the leucorrhea to turn yellow, and what harm it will bring to the health of female friends if it is not treated in time. Let’s take a closer look at it, and I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Symptoms

Normal vaginal discharge for women should be milky white or transparent, with a slight fishy smell or no smell. When the vaginal discharge becomes abnormal, the situation will change. For example, if there is light yellow mucous vaginal discharge, it is more common in cervical erosion, chronic cervicitis, etc., which is caused by mild infection; but if the yellow mucous vaginal discharge changes into yellow purulent vaginal discharge, it indicates that the inflammation has become serious, and it may be endometritis or acute pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. If the leucorrhea is dark yellow and watery, it is often caused by necrosis or degeneration of the diseased tissue, and often occurs in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, and fallopian tube cancer. Those with large amounts of yellow watery leucorrhea with a foul odor should undergo further examination to determine the cause and initiate treatment.

2. Features

1. In case of candidal vaginitis, the leucorrhea is yellow or white, mostly viscous, sometimes thin, and typically appears like tofu dregs or curds;

2. The leucorrhea of ​​trichomoniasis is thin pus-like, yellow, and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor;

3. When the cervix is ​​eroded, the vaginal discharge is usually yellow, sticky like pus, and odorless;

4. The leucorrhea of ​​gonorrhea is yellow pus-like;

5. When suffering from pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, leucorrhea will increase, be yellow in color, thin in texture, and often accompanied by abdominal pain;

6. When suffering from fallopian tube cancer, watery leucorrhea will appear continuously due to the tumor stimulating the fallopian tube epithelium to exude fluid and necrosis of the diseased tissue.

3. Prevention

1. Do not use various liquid medicines to clean the vagina, as this will damage the internal environment of the vagina;

2. Avoid wearing tight pants and tight nylon underwear. Choose cotton underwear instead;

3. Do not use sanitary pads on weekdays, wash the vulva with clean water and change underwear every night;

4. Check regularly. Even if you feel no discomfort, have a comprehensive gynecological examination at least once a year;

5. Keep exercising, improve your physical fitness, get enough sleep, eat a proper diet, and have a balanced nutrition;

6. Maintain a calm mental state and avoid being overly excited, angry or impatient.

4. Health Tips

To prevent and treat abnormal leucorrhea, first of all, you should eat less spicy, greasy and cold foods, and eat more foods that nourish the spleen and kidneys and clear away heat and dampness, such as lotus seeds, jujubes, yam, coix seeds, etc. There are also the following things to note in life:

1. The vulva, like the armpits, is prone to sweating. It is best to take a shower every day, especially after sweating during exercise. Choose sweat-absorbent cotton underwear and avoid stuffy and non-breathable clothing such as jeans. Keeping the vulva dry is the most important thing.

2. Although the popular thongs are sexy, they are not good at absorbing sweat and can easily cause friction and breakage of the skin, giving bacteria the opportunity to invade. It is best to wear them less.

3. Use sanitary pads as little as possible. If there is a lot of secretion, it is easy to make the bottom of your pants wet, so you may as well change your underwear frequently.

4. After using the toilet, the toilet paper should be used from front to back, rather than from back to front, to prevent the toilet paper from touching the anus first, which may bring too many bacteria to the vaginal opening.
