The reasons why women have yellow leucorrhea

Nowadays, the incidence of gynecological diseases is getting higher and higher, and eighty percent of women suffer from gynecological diseases to varying degrees. We need to better understand the causes of gynecological diseases so that we can better prevent them. When women have excessive yellow leucorrhea, they always think that they can just wash their genitals more often. In fact, it is not that simple. There are many reasons for abnormal leucorrhea. Here are the reasons that cause excessive yellow leucorrhea.

1. Understand the concept of cervicitis

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, including inflammation of the cervical vagina and inflammation of the cervical canal mucosa. Because the squamous epithelium of the vaginal part of the cervical canal is continuous with the squamous phase of the vagina, vaginal inflammation can cause inflammation of the vaginal part of the cervix. Since the cervical mucosal epithelium is a single-layer columnar epithelium, it has poor resistance to infection and is prone to infection. The most common clinical cervicitis is acute cervical mucositis. If acute cervicitis is not diagnosed and treated in time or the pathogen persists, it can lead to chronic cervicitis.

2. Clinical manifestations

1. Acute cervicitis

Most patients are asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients mainly present with increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. Stimulation of the discharge can cause vulvar itching and burning sensation. In addition, symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. If combined with urinary tract infection, urinary urgency, frequent urination and pain may occur. If it is a Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, due to the involvement of the paraurethral glands and Bartholin's glands, congestion and edema of the urethral and vaginal opening mucosa as well as a large amount of purulent secretions may be seen.

2. Chronic cervicitis

Most of the patients are asymptomatic. A few patients may have increased vaginal discharge, which is light yellow or purulent, bleeding after sexual intercourse, bleeding between menstruation, and occasional irritation from the discharge causing vulvar itching and discomfort. Gynecological examination may reveal erosive changes in the cervix, or yellow secretions covering or flowing out of the cervical opening. It may also manifest as cervical polyps or cervical hypertrophy.

Three treatments

.Chronic cervicitis

(1) Chronic endocervical mucositis For persistent endocervical mucosal inflammation, it is necessary to understand whether there is reinfection with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, whether the sexual partner has been treated, and whether vaginal microbiome imbalance persists. Treatment is directed at the cause. For those whose pathogens are unclear and there is no effective treatment, physical therapy can be tried.

(2) For cervical polyps, polypectomy is performed and the removed polyps are sent for pathological histological examination.

(3) Cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment.

The above are the reasons why the amount of yellow leucorrhea is large. Many of these situations occur due to cervical problems. To prevent cervical diseases, you must pay attention to your daily hygiene habits. Regardless of whether you are menstruating or not, you must pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals to reduce the possibility of bacterial invasion and create a good and clean sanitary environment for your private parts.
