In fact, to a certain extent, we can also judge the physical condition of female friends by the condition of leucorrhea.

When the leucorrhea is yellowish and has a fishy smell, it means that there is a problem with the body. Let’s take a look at what is going on with the yellowish leucorrhea and the fishy smell.

Leucorrhea is a normal vaginal discharge in women, which may vary with the menstrual cycle. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is transparent, shiny, sticky, odorless, and in small amounts. Abnormal leucorrhea includes purulent leucorrhea (yellow), tofu-like leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea, dark-brown leucorrhea and yellow watery leucorrhea.

Changes in the characteristics of leucorrhea are often closely related to vaginal infection or reproductive system diseases.

The causes and manifestations of abnormal leucorrhea are: (1) Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: mostly caused by the use of estrogen drugs or physical weakness. Symptoms include normal appearance, heavy vaginal discharge, and lower back pain and fatigue. (2) Purulent leucorrhea: It is often caused by purulent bacterial infections such as Trichomonas vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, endometritis, uterine effusion, and vaginal foreign bodies. It appears yellow or yellow-green and has a fishy smell. (3) Tofu-like leucorrhea: It is caused by candidal vaginitis, accompanied by vulvar itching. (4) Bloody leucorrhea: It is mostly caused by cervical polyps, severe chronic cervicitis, cervical cancer, uterine cancer or side effects of intrauterine contraceptive device. In particular, there is varying amounts of blood mixed in the leucorrhea, accompanied by dizziness.

What is the reason for yellowish leucorrhea with fishy smell? In fact, yellow leucorrhea and abnormal amount of leucorrhea are often seen in vaginitis. It is recommended to go to the gynecology department for a routine leucorrhea examination and then treat the symptoms after determining the cause. Do not take medicine blindly on your own, because different types of vaginitis require different medicines. It is recommended that you pay attention to genital hygiene, eat less spicy and irritating food, change underwear frequently, and do not wash underwear with other clothes. It is best for couples to receive treatment at the same time to avoid repeated infection between the two during sexual intercourse, which may cause the disease to linger. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

If female friends' leucorrhea also has this condition, then don't hesitate, go to the hospital for a detailed examination, find out the cause, and treat it in time, so as not to delay the disease or make it worse.
