What is the reason for the slightly yellowish vaginal discharge?

Gynecological diseases are common diseases in women's daily lives. There are many factors that lead to gynecological diseases. The most basic reason is to pay attention to the hygiene of the vagina, clean it in time, and prevent bacterial infection. Most gynecological diseases are caused by poor hygiene or sexually transmitted diseases. Women who suffer from gynecological diseases are in great pain, and their health is also threatened to a certain extent, so women must pay attention to it. Let’s take a look at the reasons why leucorrhea turns yellow.

Leucorrhea is something peculiar to women. Yellow leucorrhea is a common disease among women. For ordinary women, they actually know very little about the substance called leucorrhea, and no one will deliberately read some related articles to understand how leucorrhea is formed and what causes yellow leucorrhea. All of this is closely related to people's physical health, and people very much need to understand it.

Reason 1: Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue, and is common in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

Reason 2: Candidal vaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection. It is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance in the normal vaginal flora, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes people more susceptible to this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and autoimmune diseases are more susceptible to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow leucorrhea.

Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of mold. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching, often accompanied by local burning sensation. Typical leucorrhea is curd-like (tofu-like) or slightly yellow flakes, has a slight odor, and adheres tightly to the vaginal mucosa.

Reason 3: Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract. In women, it mainly exists in the vagina, but also in the urethra, paraurethral glands, bladder and other parts. In men, it often parasitizes in the urethra, prostate and other parts.

Reason 4: Senile vaginitis is more common in elderly women who have been postmenopausal for many years. After menopause, ovarian function declines, endogenous estrogen is deficient, genitals atrophy, vaginal epithelium becomes thinner, local resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria can easily multiply and cause inflammation.

From a medical clinical perspective, yellow leucorrhea is a symptom of the gynecological disease vaginitis. Patients with this disease must seek timely treatment and do not delay treatment. Early treatment can lead to early recovery, and early treatment will also lead to faster recovery. The longer you delay, the more serious the condition will be, and it is easy to develop into other diseases. Therefore, if you have abnormal leucorrhea, get checked as soon as possible.
