Next, let’s learn about the relevant content in this regard! Friends who are interested can take a look!

Why does yellow vaginal discharge not hurt or itch? Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses. Yellow vaginal discharge that is neither painful nor itchy is a sign of abnormal vaginal discharge, which is mostly caused by gynecological inflammation. Common causes of yellow vaginal discharge that is painless and itchy include:

1. When suffering from candidal vaginitis, the leucorrhea is yellow or white, most of the time it is sticky, sometimes it can be thin, and the typical leucorrhea is like tofu dregs or curds.

2. The leucorrhea of ​​Trichomonas vaginitis is pus-like, yellow, and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul smell.

3. When suffering from pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, leucorrhea will increase, the leucorrhea will be yellow, thin, and often accompanied by abdominal pain

4. The leucorrhea of ​​gonorrhea is yellow.

5. When the cervix is ​​eroded, the leucorrhea is yellow, sticky like pus, and usually odorless.

It should be noted that, generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are stimulated to proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear in color, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, causing the leucorrhea at this time to be thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when pulled. In addition, there are also some physiological phenomena such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert.

Although yellow vaginal discharge does not hurt or itch and may seem like nothing wrong on the surface, it is a warning from the body! Don't ignore it. After all, yellow vaginal discharge is an abnormal condition. Regardless of whether it hurts or itches, it more or less indicates one thing, that is, the possibility of gynecological inflammation. Therefore, female friends with this symptom are advised to go to the hospital for a check-up, so that they can feel at ease!
