Is it normal for women to have yellow discharge?

Abnormal secretions are related to many gynecological diseases. The common symptoms of gynecological diseases are mainly manifested as abnormal secretions. Therefore, once abnormal secretions are found, it is necessary to see a doctor immediately for examination. So what is the reason for yellow secretions in women?

What causes yellow discharge?

1. Fungal vaginitis

Vaginal candidiasis is a common vulvovaginal inflammation disease, often caused by Candida albicans infection. It is more common in pregnant women, diabetics, and those who use antibiotics for a long time, which leads to an imbalance of intestinal flora in the vagina. Young women wear tight polyester pants for a long time, which increases the temperature of the private parts and is also conducive to the growth of fungi.

Its typical symptom is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms are sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes occur and sometimes stop. When it is serious, it can make people feel uneasy, and even cause urination pain, sexual intercourse pain and other manifestations. There is a lot of leucorrhea, which is very thick and presents as soybean milk residue or curd lumps.

2. Candidal vaginitis

This is also a very common vaginitis caused by Trichomonas. Toxoplasma gondii often parasitizes in the urogenital system, mainly in the vagina, and some in the urethral orifice, paraurethral glands, bladder and other places. This type of vaginitis is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, swimming pools, clothing, bathtubs, etc. and is contagious.

The specific manifestations of candidal vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning or pain in the private parts and penis. The typical symptoms are that the discharge is light green, very thin, sticky and has a fishy smell. When the inflammation invades the urethra, there are also symptoms of difficulty holding urine and frequent urination.

3. Elderly vaginitis

Vaginitis in the elderly is more common in middle-aged women after menopause. After menopause, the ovaries decline, the estrogen level decreases, the sexual organs shrink, the vaginal epithelial cells soften, and the local resistance decreases, providing more favorable conditions for pathogens to invade, thus easily causing inflammation.

If you do not pay attention to your lifestyle or lack of nutrition, especially lack of B vitamins, it may cause senile vaginitis, which may be manifested by excessive vaginal discharge, pain in the lower abdomen and vagina, and a burning sensation in the vagina. The typical symptoms are light yellow watery or pus-like secretions mixed with a small amount of blood and a strong odor.

If you find that the leucorrhea is yellow, you need to pay attention, because it is very likely that there is something abnormal in the human body. It is best to see a doctor for regular checkups and diagnosis of relevant items. At the same time, you must do your own hygiene work in daily life and maintain stable personal habits.
