How to check for yellow leucorrhea and vulvar itching

Leucorrhea is a barometer of women’s health, and gynecological diseases can be diagnosed by looking at leucorrhea. Yellow leucorrhea is different from the diseases that have been diagnosed. It is just one of the symptoms of gynecological diseases. To confirm the factors that cause yellow leucorrhea, multi-faceted examinations are needed. Generally speaking, leucorrhea is less in volume and thicker during normal times, while it is transparent and more abundant during menstruation. This is because of the cyclical changes caused by the influence of estrogen. If you experience vulvar itching and yellow leucorrhea, go to the hospital for examination in time.

Vulvar itching is a symptom that can be caused by various reasons. Local causes include special infections (such as candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, pubic lice, scabies, enterobiasis), chronic vulvar malnutrition, drug allergy or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, skin diseases, etc.

Vulvar itching examination - self-examination

1. Place a small mirror under the vulva and move it back and forth. Use the mirror to observe your vulva. In addition, you can find some clues by observing the color of vaginal secretions such as leucorrhea and menstrual blood. Normal leucorrhea is a thin liquid with a clear color. Normal menstrual blood is bright red or light red. Some people may have a few blood clots.

2 Use your nose to smell the secretions, menstrual blood or the smell of the vulva. Normal smells are usually light fishy, ​​sweaty, sour or odorless. If there is a fishy, ​​rancid or special smell, there may be a problem.

3. Wash your hands first. Use the "fingertips" (commonly known as "fingertips") of your index and middle fingers to touch the vulva from the "mons pubis" area from top to bottom until the anus. When you touch the vulva normally, it should feel smooth and soft. If you don't press it hard, you won't feel any pain. Of course, under normal circumstances, you shouldn't feel any small nodules or lumps. Otherwise, you may be sick.

If the amount of leucorrhea is large, has an odor, or is accompanied by vulvar itching, it is considered pathological. If there is any abnormality in leucorrhea, you must go to the hospital for examination in time to see what is causing it, and then receive symptomatic treatment. This way of treatment will prevent recurrence. Female friends should pay attention at this time, discover abnormalities in time and solve the problems. I hope the above description can be helpful to everyone. You can find out whether there is any abnormality in your leucorrhea through the self-examination above.
