What is the cause of yellow leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a special physiological phenomenon of women. Women before puberty generally do not have leucorrhea. After puberty, women's estrogen matures and secretions will seep out of the vagina, which is leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is a colorless and transparent liquid, which can be viscous and can be drawn into threads. It looks very similar to egg white. Leucorrhea usually appears a few days after menstruation and the amount is not large.

Many women experience yellow leucorrhea, accompanied by back pain, lower abdominal pain, etc., which is generally related to poor personal hygiene. The vagina has its own normal flora, just like the intestines. The vagina must be cleaned every day with boiled water that has cooled thoroughly. Do not use soap or lotion to clean it.

Diseases causing yellow leucorrhea

Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue and is common in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

Candidal vaginitis is one of the common vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection, and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance of normal vaginal flora, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes people more susceptible to this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and autoimmune diseases are more susceptible to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow leucorrhea.

Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of mold. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching, often accompanied by local burning sensation. Typical leucorrhea is curd-like (tofu-like) or slightly yellow flakes, has a slight odor, and adheres tightly to the vaginal mucosa.

Trichomonal vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, which is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract and mainly exists in the vagina in women.

For the sake of their own health, female friends must develop the good habit of regularly observing their leucorrhea. Once abnormal leucorrhea is found, they should seek medical attention in time and actively seek treatment with the help of a doctor. There are many details that female friends need to pay attention to in daily life. Underwear must be washed by hand. Don't try to save trouble by washing it in the washing machine and getting it contaminated with bacteria.
