Why is the leucorrhea milky yellow?

Leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon that every female friend will experience. Physiological leucorrhea, which is normal leucorrhea, is white and sometimes transparent, with no odor, etc. However, pathological leucorrhea will cause increased leucorrhea, changes in leucorrhea color, leucorrhea with odor, etc. So why is the leucorrhea milky yellow? What causes this symptom? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to why leucorrhea is milky yellow.

Physiological leucorrhea is white, sometimes transparent, sometimes sticky, and has no odor. During adolescence, leucorrhea is affected by estrogen and undergoes cyclical changes, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing. During ovulation, the leucorrhea is transparent and abundant, while at other times it is less and thicker. During puberty, the reproductive organs develop vigorously and the production of leucorrhea also increases.

In addition, the secretion of these fluids will increase in hot weather, during physical activity, and during sexual impulses, and may sometimes leak out.

(1) Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea:

It is similar to egg white, or slightly turbid, but apart from increased vaginal discharge, there are rarely other symptoms. This type of vaginal discharge is more common in chronic cervicitis, endocervicitis and after the use of estrogen.

(2) Foamy leucorrhea:

If you have grayish white or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea with a sour odor after bathing in a public bath or using a public bath towel or bathtub, you should consider whether you have been infected with Trichomonas vaginitis.

(3) Bean curd-like leucorrhea:

It is unique to fungal vaginitis. The vulva and vaginal walls are often covered with a layer of white film-like substance. After rubbing, the red and swollen mucosal surface is exposed, which is easily infected by fungi and is often accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain. Especially people with diabetes or pregnant women should think about this, because pregnant women and people with diabetes have poor physical condition and low immunity, which makes them prone to fungal infections.

(4) Yellow (amine) leucorrhea:

Most are caused by bacterial infection. Gonorrhea, tuberculosis bacteria, etc. may be the cause of the disease, and Treponema pallidum can also cause purulent infection of the vagina. When the patient discharges a large amount of leucorrhea with a special odor from the vagina, it should be suspected whether there is a foreign body in the vagina, which causes increased leucorrhea and serious infection.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons why leucorrhea is milky yellow. Through the above introduction, everyone should understand that the occurrence of this situation is generally related to some gynecological diseases. This also proves that leucorrhea is a reminder of women's physiological health. Therefore, once you find abnormal leucorrhea in your life, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to ensure your health.
