What tests should be done if the leucorrhea is yellow and has a fishy smell

If the leucorrhea is yellow and has a fishy smell, you should not let your guard down. This is a warning sign of gynecological disease, so female friends should pay attention to it. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time for targeted treatment. Generally speaking, the examination items include routine leucorrhea examination, vaginal pH value, vaginal cleanliness, fungus and trichomonas, amine test, etc. These examinations can determine which disease is caused, but you must choose a regular and professional gynecological hospital so that the results are accurate and can provide a reliable basis for subsequent treatment.

Examination items for yellow leucorrhea with fishy odor

1. Vaginal pH value: The normal vaginal pH value is between 4 and 4.5, which is weakly acidic. It can effectively prevent the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria in the vagina and play a certain self-purification role. When suffering from trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis, the pH value of leucorrhea usually increases, and the pH value is mostly between 5 and 6. The pH value of patients with candidal vaginitis can be within this range.

2. Vaginal cleanliness: It is generally divided into four degrees. Usually, degrees I and II are normal, while degrees III and IV indicate the presence of vaginitis, that is, a large number of white blood cells or bacteria can be seen on the secretion smear.

If the leucorrhea is yellow and has a fishy smell and is caused by a gynecological disease, it can lead to infertility or affect the health of the fetus. Therefore, you must pay attention to personal hygiene in your life, clean the vulva regularly, change your underwear frequently, and temporarily refrain from sexual intercourse. At the same time, do not take medication on your own and do not be embarrassed to go to the hospital for systematic treatment. This may delay the disease and make later treatment more complicated.
