What is the reason for yellow, sticky and odorless leucorrhea

Normal leucorrhea is milky white or egg white-like, sticky, has no fishy smell and is in small amount. Some women's secretions turn yellow. What is the reason? There are generally three reasons why leucorrhea is yellow, thick and odorless. Let’s look down together. Women are very sensitive, especially their bodies. Regularly checking and eliminating discomfort is the greatest care for women. Some women are often confused by the yellowing of their secretions. So, what is the reason?

What are the normal leucorrhea?

Normal leucorrhea is milky white and sticky or egg white-like, viscous, without any fishy smell, and in small amounts. It is called physiological secretion. Due to the action of the pelvic floor muscles, the female vaginal opening is closed and the front, back, left and right walls are close together. The moisture in the secretions keeps the woman's vagina moist. This moist environment can reduce the friction between the front and back walls of the vagina and protect the vaginal walls from damage. At the same time, this moist state makes the female vagina lubricated and elastic, which is beneficial to improving the quality of sexual life.

The reason why leucorrhea becomes thick, yellow and has no odor

1. Easy to get angry

Yellow, thick and odorless leucorrhea is generally not related to Trichomonas vaginitis, but is mainly related to getting angry. For example, eating some relatively hot foods, such as grilled chicken legs, French fries, skewers, etc., can easily cause cold and dampness and get angry, which leads to abnormal leucorrhea. The most common manifestation is yellow, thick and odorless leucorrhea. Therefore, for the situation that leucorrhea is yellow, thick and odorless, we should first consider whether it is related to getting angry.

2. Impact of drugs

If the leucorrhea is yellow, thick and odorless and has nothing to do with getting angry, you should consider whether it is related to some drugs. For example, have you taken any estrogen drugs recently, because these drugs will increase the secretion of secretions. If it is confirmed that it is caused by taking medicine, there is no need for special treatment. The symptom of yellow, thick and odorless leucorrhea will disappear after the medicine is no longer needed.

3. Cervicitis

The condition of yellow, thick and odorless leucorrhea may also be related to cervicitis. We must pay attention to the yellow, thick and odorless leucorrhea caused by cervicitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately to check the condition of the cervix. If the doctor recommends treatment, you should cooperate closely with the doctor's treatment.

The viscosity of secretions is closely related to female hormones. During ovulation and the early stages of menstruation, there will be more secretions. But in some cases, thick leucorrhea is abnormal. Simply relying on the symptom of thick and yellow leucorrhea cannot indicate any problem. Generally speaking, if there is abnormal leucorrhea, it is best to go to the hospital for routine examination of leucorrhea and combine it with the doctor's examination to find out the cause.

Routine physical examination of discharge

1. pH value

pH value testing is a key inspection item for abnormal leucorrhea. The normal pH value of the vagina is between 3.8 and 4.4, which is acidic and can prevent pathogens from multiplying in the female vagina. The vaginal pH of patients with candidal vaginitis is 5.0-6.5. The vaginal pH of patients with bacterial vaginitis is >4.5.

2. Vaginal cleanliness

The female secretions are stained with acid-fast dye and observed under a microscope. The cleanliness of the vaginal discharge is judged by the number of vaginal bacilli, white blood cell counts (WBC) and fungi. There are 4 levels:

Grade I: There are a lot of vaginal lactobacilli and squamous epithelial cells, no fungi, white blood cell count, and clear vision, indicating normal secretions.

Grade II: A moderate amount of vaginal bacilli and squamous epithelial cells, a small amount of white blood cells and fungi, still belongs to normal female secretions.

Grade III: A small amount of vaginal lactobacilli and squamous epithelium, but a relatively high count of fungi and white blood cells, indicating a relatively mild case of Trichomonas vaginitis.

Grade IV: No vaginal bacilli, only a small amount of squamous epithelial cells, a large number of white blood cells and fungi. Remind that there are relatively severe Trichomonas vaginitis, such as candidal vaginitis and candidal vaginitis.

Grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ are normal, and grades Ⅲ to Ⅳ indicate abnormal secretions, indicating Trichomonas vaginitis.

3. Microbiological inspection

After the secretions have been processed, their shapes can be used to identify whether there are Trichomonas or fungi under a microscope. If there are Trichomonas or fungi, regardless of their number, they will be indicated by “ ”, and if not, “-” will be indicated.

4. Amine Experiment

The discharge of vaginal infection with bacteria may have a fishy odor, which is caused by the release of ammonia when amines meet alkali.

5. Gardnerella

Gardnerella is a specific clinical symptom of bacterial infection of the vagina. The diagnosis of bacterial infection of the vagina can be confirmed based on a positive amine test and the presence of Gardnerella.

What should I do if my leucorrhea becomes thick, yellow and odorless?

1. During sex, pay attention to cleaning the private parts, especially before sex. If your sexual partner has a long foreskin, be sure to open it when cleaning;

2. The best way to keep your private parts dry is to change your underwear frequently (with good air permeability and loose cotton);

3. Do a good job in contraceptive measures, reduce the chance of unmarried pregnancy, and avoid the harm of abortion to the body.
