What is the reason for the leucorrhea to turn yellow after sex?

Leucorrhea is a body fluid that every woman secretes. You can also check whether you have gynecological diseases by observing its color. Its main function is to protect the female vagina. Once abnormalities such as color, quantity, etc. are found, it indicates that you may have a certain disease. So, why does vaginal discharge turn yellow after intercourse? If vaginal discharge appears yellow the day after intercourse, it is usually caused by gynecological inflammation.

What to do if the vaginal discharge turns yellow the day after sex

When yellow leucorrhea occurs during pregnancy, it may be caused by bacterial infection and vaginitis.

You can go to the hospital to check the routine leucorrhea examination and B-ultrasound. After the diagnosis is confirmed, you can receive relevant treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Do not take medicine on your own.

During pregnancy, the corpus luteum of the ovary will secrete a large amount of estrogen and progesterone to maintain the implantation and development of the fertilized egg, thereby keeping the body of the pregnant woman in a state of high estrogen and progesterone at all times, resulting in increased leucorrhea during pregnancy.

Although it is normal for the amount of leucorrhea to increase during pregnancy, if personal hygiene is not maintained in time, it will easily lead to the breeding of various pathogens, causing infection and gynecological inflammation. Special attention should be paid to the occurrence of vaginitis and cervical erosion. In daily life, you need to wash the vulva with warm water every day and change your underwear frequently. Dirty underwear should be washed with boiling water and then placed in the sun to dry.

At the same time, we would like to remind all expectant mothers to eat more fruits and vegetables during pregnancy, avoid spicy foods, get more rest, avoid strenuous exercise, do prenatal checkups to ensure the health of the fetus, and pay attention to relaxing.

Causes of yellow vaginal discharge

Yellow leucorrhea is the most common type of abnormal leucorrhea. Yellow leucorrhea is generally the most common cause of vaginitis, such as trichomoniasis, candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, etc. The clinical characteristics of leucorrhea are different for different inflammations:

1. Trichomonas vaginitis: Clinically, the leucorrhea is yellow, yellow-green, and foamy;

2. Fungal vaginitis: Clinically, the leucorrhea is yellow and typically looks like tofu dregs;

3. Bacterial vaginitis: Clinically, the amount of yellow leucorrhea increases, accompanied by vulvar itching.

Experts point out that yellow leucorrhea indicates inflammation. Although pregnancy is possible, the pregnancy rate is lower than that of healthy people because inflammatory secretions are not conducive to sperm penetration. Therefore, it is best to cure the inflammation before getting pregnant.
