Why does the vaginal discharge increase and turn yellow?

Abnormal leucorrhea usually refers to pathological abnormalities. So how do you distinguish pathological abnormal leucorrhea? In fact, it is very simple. Normal abnormal leucorrhea is caused by menstruation, pregnancy, or mental factors. If it is not caused by these factors, it is pathological abnormal leucorrhea. So what causes the increase in yellow leucorrhea? So let me give you a detailed introduction to the reasons behind this.

Yellow leucorrhea is a type of pathological leucorrhea. The following five types of pathological leucorrhea are common:

Colorless paste-like leucorrhea - the leucorrhea is sticky like paste, with a large amount, and often stains the underwear. It is more common in chronic cervicitis. In addition, women who use more estrogen preparations may also experience this kind of leucorrhea.

Bean-dreg-like leucorrhea - the leucorrhea is large in amount, shaped like bean dregs and floc-like, and is accompanied by extreme vaginal itching. This type of leucorrhea is mostly caused by vaginal fungal infection or diabetes.

Foamy leucorrhea - the leucorrhea is foamy and large in amount, accompanied by vulvar and vaginal itching. If a vaginal leucorrhea smear test is done, active Trichomonas may be detected. This disease is often caused by itching and scratching of the vaginal opening, which leads to purulent infection and the leucorrhea turns into yellow pus and foam.

Purulent leucorrhea - leucorrhea is yellow or green and pus-like, often accompanied by symptoms such as general weakness and low fever. It is likely to be acute vaginitis or cervicitis. Purulence indicates bacterial infection and you should seek medical attention immediately.

Watery leucorrhea - Leucorrhea that is clear like water, often soaks the underwear, and has a foul odor is often a sign of fallopian tube tumors.

When a woman's vaginal discharge changes in quantity, color, properties, odor, etc., and becomes yellow, it is likely that there is inflammation in the reproductive organs or urinary system. Abnormal vaginal discharge is common in the following situations:

1. Non-inflammatory leucorrhea

(1) Leucorrhea is sticky and profuse, which is seen after taking estrogen drugs.

(2) Women of childbearing age have too little vaginal discharge, which makes it impossible to meet their physiological needs, causing women to often feel dryness and discomfort in the vulva. This is often caused by ovarian dysfunction and insufficient secretion of sex hormones, which is also a pathological condition.

(3) Mental stimulation increases the secretions of the vulva, vagina and cervix, which become colorless and transparent.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons why the amount of yellow leucorrhea increases. At the same time, it also introduces some abnormal leucorrhea caused by non-gynecological diseases. I believe that after the previous detailed introduction, everyone should understand how to distinguish between normal abnormal leucorrhea and pathological abnormal leucorrhea. At the same time, it is also clear about the gynecological diseases that abnormal leucorrhea may cause. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention to whether their leucorrhea is normal in life.
