If the leucorrhea is abnormal, it may lead to gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis and cervicitis, and sometimes it is even a sign of cancer. The most common abnormal leucorrhea is leucorrhea with odor, and the more common one is the sour and fishy smell of leucorrhea. So what causes this? So let me give you a detailed introduction next.

Symptoms of leucorrhea with odor:

In daily life, yellow leucorrhea with a bad smell is the most common abnormal leucorrhea manifestation. So, what should we do if leucorrhea is yellow and has a bad smell?

As for the reason why the leucorrhea is yellow and has a bad smell, if it is after an abortion, it is mostly caused by reproductive system infection after the abortion, usually a bacterial infection. In addition, gonococci, tuberculosis bacteria, etc. may also be the cause of the disease. 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 an increase in leucorrhea and serious infection.

In addition, if a woman has yellow and sticky leucorrhea that is typical tofu dregs or curd-like, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, and sometimes appears thin and slightly smelly, this is most likely candidal vaginitis caused by a fungal infection. Candidal vaginitis often destroys the acidity and alkalinity in the vagina, and inflammatory cells phagocytize sperm, weakening sperm motility, thereby affecting female conception.
