What is the reason for yellow and odorless vaginal discharge

Do you know what causes yellow and odorless leucorrhea? Today I want to tell you some basic common sense about leucorrhea. Under normal circumstances, women's leucorrhea should be colorless and odorless, and will not cause any harm to the lives of female friends. However, if the quality of leucorrhea changes, it is very likely the external manifestation of certain diseases, and it must be taken seriously. Let's take a closer look at it below.

1. The nature of leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a small amount of mucous substance that is often secreted from the vagina of women. It is like white, translucent egg white and is odorless and non-irritating.

In fact, leucorrhea, like menstruation, is a normal physiological manifestation of women. It reflects the quality of women's physical health and is also a sign of certain gynecological diseases. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

2. The causes of leucorrhea changes are:

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. Yellow leucorrhea

1. If there is light yellow mucous leucorrhea, it is more common in cervical erosion, chronic cervicitis, etc., which is caused by mild infection; but if the leucorrhea changes from yellow mucous to yellow purulent leucorrhea, 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.

2. If the leucorrhea is dark yellow and watery, it is often caused by necrosis or degeneration of 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.

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.

The above are all the reasons for yellow and odorless vaginal discharge. Once this phenomenon occurs, it means that there is a problem with the health of female friends. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. You can go to a professional gynecological hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination to rule out the causes of major diseases in the body. If it is just gynecological inflammation, it is usually easier to treat.
