If the leucorrhea is yellow and sticky, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

What is the reason for yellow and sticky vaginal discharge?

When a woman's leucorrhea appears yellow and sticky, it may be caused by pathological factors, which are mainly manifested in changes in the color, amount and texture of the leucorrhea. The sticky leucorrhea appears to be colorless and transparent on the surface, but the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, which often occurs in women with weaker bodies. Purulent leucorrhea will have a foul odor, and if the color is yellow or yellow-green, it is mainly caused by purulent infection or Trichomonas infection.

There will be varying amounts of blood in bloody leucorrhea, which is usually caused by cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, or severe cervicitis. If there is prolonged bleeding, or the amount of bleeding continues to increase, you should be alert to the possibility of cancer. Therefore, when abnormal changes in leucorrhea are found, you must go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. After the diagnosis is confirmed, you must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Do not delay the treatment of the disease and avoid worsening of the disease.

If there is a lot of vaginal discharge, women should not be too anxious. Sometimes it is normal to have a lot of vaginal discharge, but sometimes it may be a sign of some kind of disease in the body. It is true that there is a lot of vaginal discharge before menstruation, but it does not mean that menstruation is about to come. It may be caused by other reasons.

1. Before menstruation, the leucorrhea will indeed be more and thicker. At this time, the cervical opening will gradually expand and the amount of leucorrhea secretion will increase. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require treatment. After the menstruation is over, the leucorrhea will slowly become less.

2. After pregnancy, the amount of vaginal discharge will increase. This is because there is a large amount of estrogen in the body, which causes great changes in the body. The vaginal discharge will gradually increase. It is normal to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy and no treatment is required, but you should change your underwear frequently to prevent gynecological diseases.

3. After suffering from gynecological diseases, there will be more vaginal discharge, such as trichomoniasis, candidal vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc. After suffering from these diseases, not only the amount of vaginal discharge will increase, but also the vaginal discharge will have an odor, and the color of the vaginal discharge will also change. The increase in vaginal discharge caused by the disease must be treated to avoid causing some other physical diseases.

When women have a lot of vaginal discharge, they must pay attention to changing their underwear and washing their genitals every day. When there is a lot of vaginal discharge, the vulva becomes moist and bacteria are easily produced. Women may experience symptoms such as vaginal itching, so they must keep their genitals and underwear clean to effectively prevent gynecological diseases.
