Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is white and odorless, and its quantity and quality vary with the menstrual cycle. Between the two menstrual periods (i.e. during the ovulation period), the leucorrhea is abundant and transparent, sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads; after ovulation, the leucorrhea is less and thicker; a few days before and after the menstrual period, the leucorrhea is slightly more and becomes turbid because it contains more exfoliated cells;

In addition, vaginal discharge will increase after pregnancy, during sexual excitement, and after intercourse.

1. Yellow watery leucorrhea.

It often occurs after continuous vaginal bleeding, with a large amount of purulent and foul-smelling leucorrhea flowing out of the vagina. Advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or submucosal myoma with infection should be considered first. Those with paroxysmal discharge should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

2. Purulent leucorrhea.

It is yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky or foamy, and has a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation, among which Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching. It can also be seen in chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, mesometrial effusion or foreign bodies in the vagina.

3. Cheese-like or tofu-like leucorrhea.

Most of them are typical phenomena of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching.
