Leucorrhea yellowish green

The yellow-green color of leucorrhea is mainly caused by inflammation such as vaginitis or cervicitis. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is colorless, transparent or milky white. Therefore, when leucorrhea is abnormal, women should seek treatment in time, otherwise it will affect the function of the vagina and cervix. The main reason why women have yellow-green leucorrhea is that they do not pay attention to vaginal hygiene and have unclean sexual life, which are the main factors causing bacterial infection.

Normal leucorrhea will appear milky white or colorless and transparent. It is mainly affected by the level of estrogen in the female body and the amount varies with the menstrual cycle. If the leucorrhea is yellow or yellow with a hint of green, is thin, foamy, and has an odor, it is likely caused by vaginitis or cervicitis.

First of all, you must go to the hospital for a check-up. Vaginitis or cervicitis is caused by bacterial infection. Although most of the time it is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, there are other exceptions. Going to the hospital for a check-up can identify the type of bacteria that has infected you, prescribe the right medicine, and receive treatment as soon as possible without delaying the disease.

Secondly, we should pay attention to diet nutrition on daily basis. You should try to avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods, especially during your menstrual period. Raw, cold and spicy foods are very irritating to the body, can damage health and are not conducive to enhancing immunity.

Also, be sure to maintain vaginal hygiene. Bacteria and fungi prefer to live and reproduce in warm and nutritious places, so you must change your underwear frequently, disinfect it regularly, and keep the external vagina clean and dry.
