What causes yellow-green leucorrhea with a foul odor?

Leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. It is a white secretion that flows out of the vagina. The color of the leucorrhea can be used to diagnose whether the patient has gynecological diseases. In life, some patients have yellow-green and foul-smelling leucorrhea. According to the symptoms of the patient's leucorrhea, it can be seen that the leucorrhea is abnormal and the patient is infected with gynecological inflammation. So what causes yellow-green and foul-smelling leucorrhea? Let me explain it to you below, I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Foreign objects have entered the reproductive organs, such as gauze, tampons, menstrual plugs, etc., into the vagina. Trichomonas infection This infection can easily cause an increase in leucorrhea, accompanied by a foul odor, and vaginal itching.

2. Pathogen infection: Using contaminated sanitary products allows pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening, causing infection and increased vaginal discharge. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing increased vaginal discharge secretions.

3. Use a lot of cleaning fluid. If women frequently flush the vagina, especially with cleaning fluid, the number of lactobacilli will decrease, which will destroy the microecological balance in the vagina and cause dysbacteriosis. Because the female vagina has a self-cleaning function, the female vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen. The vagina of normal women is parasitic with a kind of bacteria called vaginal lactobacillus, which can break down these glycogen into monosaccharides and then into lactic acid, making the vaginal environment acidic and maintaining the pH value at 4-5. Those pathogens that grow well in alkaline environments will be inhibited, which is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.

4. Long-term use of sanitary pads. Long-term use of sanitary pads is not breathable. Due to the excessive vaginal discharge, the vulva is often kept moist, which has a certain irritation to the local skin. It destroys the balance of the vagina and easily causes infection.

5. Not paying attention to hygiene and not changing underwear frequently. Women should change their underwear once a day and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is best to put the changed underwear in the sun to dry. Increased leucorrhea If abnormal leucorrhea is not treated in time and not eradicated, serious sequelae will occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and other gynecological inflammations. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Many middle-aged women who get cancer are caused by not paying attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young. Moreover, if there is too little leucorrhea for a long time, the vagina's self-defense function will be weakened, making women more susceptible to vaginitis.

Patients should know that yellow-green and foul-smelling leucorrhea is definitely abnormal. Changes in the color of leucorrhea indicate that the patient has been infected with bacteria and has a very high chance of suffering from gynecological diseases. At the same time, the patient's leucorrhea also has a foul odor, and the cause of the disease is also related to gynecological diseases. The patient may be suffering from vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, cervical diseases, etc. At the same time, not paying attention to hygiene in life can also cause abnormal leucorrhea.
