For the sake of health and safety, it is recommended to go to the hospital to confirm the cause and then actively treat it.

2. Wash the vulva with warm water

If the patient goes to the hospital and the tumor is diagnosed, and the yellowing of the leucorrhea is only caused by gynecological diseases caused by inflammation, in addition to using anti-inflammatory drugs to change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, we also need to keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. Change your underwear frequently, wash your vulva with warm water, and do not wash your underwear together with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

4. Women’s Tips: The Secret of Leucorrhea

1. Look at the amount of leucorrhea

Under normal circumstances, the amount of vaginal discharge is relatively small, but during the ovulation period, the amount of vaginal discharge will increase, which is mainly affected by the estrogen level in the body. If the amount of leucorrhea is very small or even absent, it indicates that the ovaries are functioning poorly. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, it may be related to vaginal inflammation, cervical disease, etc.

2. Look at the color of leucorrhea

Normal vaginal discharge should be white or colorless and transparent. If the color of leucorrhea is yellow, grayish white, yellow-green, bloody, brown, or black, then there is abnormal leucorrhea, which is often related to diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cervical polyps.

3. Look at the texture of leucorrhea

Normal vaginal discharge is thinner and slightly sticky. If the texture of the leucorrhea appears to be tofu dregs-like, foamy, watery, or purulent, then it is considered abnormal. It is generally related to candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, cervical cancer, etc.

4. Smell the odor of leucorrhea

Normal leucorrhea has a slightly fishy smell but no odor. If the leucorrhea has a fishy or smelly smell, it means there is a gynecological problem.

5. Pay attention to yellow leucorrhea after curettage

1. Pay attention to cleaning

Women must pay attention to the cleaning of their private parts at ordinary times. Wash the vulva with warm water every day to maintain local hygiene. Underwear also needs to be changed and washed frequently. In addition, cotton underwear needs to be worn to ensure good breathability of the private parts. This is helpful in improving the phenomenon of yellow leucorrhea.

2. Pay attention to your diet

In order to improve the phenomenon of yellow leucorrhea, women also need to pay attention to their diet. The diet should be light, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and greasy foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more boiled water, speed up the excretion of toxins in the body, and improve the abnormal leucorrhea.

Dietary taboos

(1) Avoid spicy food

Such as: pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc.

Cause: Eating too much spicy food can easily cause dryness and heat, which can cause heat and toxins to accumulate in the internal organs, resulting in symptoms such as swollen and painful gums, mouth sores, short and red urine, burning sensation in the anus, itching and pain in the front and back of the vulva, thus aggravating the symptoms of this disease.

(2) Avoid seafood and other irritants

Such as: mandarin fish, yellow croaker, hairtail, black fish, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products.

Reason: Eating seafood can promote dampness and heat, which can aggravate vulvar itching and is not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation, so it should be avoided.

(3) Avoid sweet and greasy foods

Such as: lard, fatty pork, cream, butter, mutton fat, chocolate, candy, desserts, cream cakes, etc.

Reason: Because these foods help to increase moisture and heat, they will increase the secretion of leucorrhea and affect the treatment effect.

3. Pay attention to active treatment

The phenomenon of yellowing of women's leucorrhea may sometimes be caused by some gynecological diseases. In this case, in addition to the yellowing color of the leucorrhea, the odor and properties will also change. This is mostly caused by some inflammation and lesions of the vagina, cervix or internal reproductive organs. Patients should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease. Do not take medication on your own. The use of antibiotics must be under the guidance of a doctor.
