If the color and characteristics of leucorrhea are abnormal, it may be caused by a disease. There are many reasons for this condition, including cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, urethral infection and candidal vaginitis. For these abnormal leucorrhea caused by different reasons, anti-infection or antibacterial methods should be used to treat the cause of the disease. So, what should you do if your leucorrhea is yellow and thick?

1. Causes of cervicitis

Thick and yellow leucorrhea may be caused by cervicitis. In addition to thick and yellow leucorrhea, the patient may also have symptoms such as bloody leucorrhea, lumbar pain, and lower abdominal distension and pain. In this case, antibiotics or antibacterial drugs can be used for treatment, and the patient's sexual partners should be examined and treated.

2. Fungal vaginitis

Yellow and thick leucorrhea may also be caused by the patient being infected with candidal vaginitis, which can cause the patient to experience vulvar itching. For candidal vaginitis, the main treatment is to use local medication. After using the medication for 2-3 days, the symptoms will be alleviated or disappear.

3. Urinary tract infection

That is, urinary tract infection can also cause the problem of thick and yellow leucorrhea, and can also cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating. Urinary tract infection is mainly treated with antibacterial drugs, and the common drugs are antibiotics.

This type of disease can be treated with antibiotics, but it is important to take a sufficient course of treatment to prevent recurrence. In addition, physical therapy and surgical treatment can also be chosen. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a very good effect in treating pelvic inflammatory disease.

5. Adnexitis

If it is subacute adnexitis and conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment can be performed. If chronic adnexitis is not cured, it may cause hydrosalpinx, which should be treated surgically in time.
