The reason why leucorrhea turns yellow

Leucorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon for women, but for some women, the leucorrhea turns yellow after an abortion. So this symptom is an unhealthy color symptom of leucorrhea. When these symptoms appear, many women who have had an abortion must pay attention to them. The following introduces the reasons for this symptom, so you can have a comprehensive understanding of it.

1. Autoinfection refers to the infection caused by poor vaginal cleanliness before artificial abortion. The common pathogen is anaerobic streptococcus. It parasitizes in the vagina. After an abortion, due to changes in the body's internal environment or damage to the uterine wall, the bacteria can invade and cause disease. Bacteria that have already parasitized other parts of the body can also be transmitted to the reproductive tract through blood circulation or hand contact and cause infection.

2. External infection refers to bacteria entering the vagina from the outside before, during or after an artificial abortion. If surgical instruments, dressings, gloves, etc. are not thoroughly disinfected, pathogenic bacteria may be introduced. Bacteria can also be spread to patients through the air. Premature sexual intercourse after an abortion and poor personal hygiene habits can also allow external bacteria to invade the reproductive tract and cause infection.

Normal leucorrhea should be white, sometimes transparent, sometimes sticky, and have no odor. During adolescence, leucorrhea is affected by estrogen and undergoes cyclical changes, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing. During ovulation, the leucorrhea is clear and abundant, while at other times it is less and thicker. If the leucorrhea turns yellow and has an odor after an abortion, it is mostly caused by a reproductive system infection, usually a bacterial infection. Gonorrhea, tuberculosis bacteria, etc. may be the cause of the disease, and Treponema pallidum can also cause purulent infection of the vagina. When the patient discharges a large amount of leucorrhea with a special odor from the vagina, it should be suspected whether there is a foreign body in the vagina, which causes increased leucorrhea and serious infection.

The reasons why leucorrhea turns yellow during abortion. First of all, after these reasons appear, it is not only related to one's own infection, but also directly related to some external infections. So no matter what it is related to, you must pay attention to it to avoid further harm to your body. After a comprehensive understanding, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, find out the cause and treat it as soon as possible.
