Why is the vaginal discharge yellow and itchy?

Itching and yellow vaginal discharge are most likely caused by cervical erosion. If it is mild cervical erosion, the symptoms are often not obvious, and many female friends will only show an increase in leucorrhea. Some female friends may not go to the hospital for treatment until they experience itching and yellowing of vaginal discharge, and only then do they discover that they have the disease. Suffering from cervical erosion has a great impact on the health of women, and may even be serious enough to cause infertility.

Itching and yellow vaginal discharge may be caused by chronic cervical erosion, which should be detected and treated early because it is considered a high-risk factor for cervical cancer. Early detection and treatment can greatly reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Some people have mild illnesses and unobvious symptoms and are unwilling to seek treatment. Experience tells us that spontaneous recovery is rare and without treatment the condition will become more and more serious. Research in recent years has also shown that cervical erosion is related to papillomavirus infection, and HPV infection is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. Therefore, cervical erosion should be actively treated.

Female friends who have itchy and yellow vaginal discharge must pay attention to hygiene during menstruation. If they suffer from cervical erosion, the cervical wound may not heal in time after treatment. In this case, they should pay attention to private hygiene and be extremely careful to avoid infection during menstruation. If you have itchy and yellow leucorrhea and have been diagnosed with cervical erosion, you can go to the hospital for surgical treatment about 3 to 7 days after your menstruation ends. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited for at least 3 days after surgery.
