What is the reason for the yellow-green leucorrhea with a fishy smell?

Leucorrhea is a substance produced by normal female physiological phenomena. In many cases, once a woman suffers from gynecological diseases, abnormal conditions will appear in the leucorrhea, which can be used as a basis for female reproductive organ diseases. For example, yellow-green leucorrhea with a fishy smell is a typical symptom. So, what is the reason for the yellow-green color of leucorrhea and fishy smell? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Experts say that to evaluate whether leucorrhea is normal, one must observe the quantity, color, texture, and smell. When there are abnormal changes in leucorrhea in these aspects, you should go to the hospital for routine examination of leucorrhea in time, as it is mostly a manifestation of gynecological inflammation. Yellow leucorrhea with a fishy smell is likely to be vaginitis, which is common in vaginitis, trichomoniasis, chronic cervicitis, endometritis, etc. Purulent leucorrhea is extremely common clinically, and is characterized by yellow or green leucorrhea that is pus-like and has a foul odor.

The symptoms of many gynecological inflammatory diseases are often manifested as abnormal changes in the color, quality, quantity, and taste of leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is colorless, transparent, and egg white-like, and is mostly odorless.

Yellow vaginal discharge may be caused by Trichomonas vaginitis. If you find that the secretions on your underwear are yellow or yellow with light green, have foam and a strange smell, and there is a burning sensation in the vagina and itching of the vulva, it means that the vagina is sending out an alarm - Trichomonas is "harassing" it. Trichomonas is a very tiny protozoan with flagella that cannot be seen with the naked eye and must be observed under a microscope. When a woman is infected with Trichomonas, her vagina will produce yellow-green foamy or rice bran-like leucorrhea with a foul odor. There are two ways of transmission of vaginal trichomoniasis, one is sexual transmission and the other is indirect transmission.

The typical vaginal discharge of Trichomonas vaginitis is yellow or yellow-green. Once Trichomonas vaginitis is discovered, it must be treated promptly. In patients with Trichomonas vaginitis, changes in the acidity and alkalinity of the vaginal environment can inhibit sperm motility. In addition, Trichomonas can devour sperm, and when suffering from Trichomonas vaginitis, the purulent secretions in the vagina increase significantly, and the secretions contain a large number of white blood cells, all of which will hinder the survival of sperm and reduce the number of sperm. If the sperm count is small and the motility is poor, it is very likely to cause infertility.

The above is an introduction to why leucorrhea is yellow-green and has a fishy smell. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many causes of yellow-green leucorrhea with a fishy smell. In short, they are basically gynecological diseases. In particular, Trichomonas vaginitis is not only harmful, but also contagious, with cross-cutting and continuous damage, and must be treated in time.
