What is the cause of the yellow leucorrhea?

Some friends usually have normal leucorrhea, so they don’t pay much attention to it. But one day they find that their leucorrhea becomes yellow and paste-like. They are extremely anxious, but are too embarrassed to see a doctor, so they really want to know what is going on. So why does leucorrhea appear yellow and paste-like? Please see the detailed introduction below.

Why does leucorrhea appear yellow and paste? Yellow and paste-like leucorrhea is mostly caused by candidal vaginitis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common and frequent vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium. 10% to 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women have this fungus parasitic in their vagina, but the amount of bacteria is small and does not cause symptoms. Vaginitis symptoms will only occur when the systemic and local vaginal immunity decreases, especially the local cellular immunity decreases, and Candida albicans multiplies in large numbers.

Candida is a fungus, and the one that usually causes vaginitis is Candida albicans. Candida is not resistant to heat and will die after being heated to 60°C for 1 hour. However, it is more resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals.

The typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms vary from mild to severe, and come and go. When the itching is severe, the patient will be restless and unable to sleep or eat. When the inflammation is severe, urination pain and sexual intercourse pain may also occur. Increased vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this disease. The vaginal discharge is usually thick and appears to be dregs or curd-like.

Treatments for vaginal candidal infection are as follows:

1. For simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, local medication is the main choice. Generally, the symptoms will be alleviated or disappear within 2-3 days after medication. Clotrimazole vaginal suppository, use every 3 days, 2 times in total.

2. Regarding the treatment of complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis, the selected drugs are basically the same as those for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Whether local or systemic medication, the treatment time should be appropriately extended.

3. The treatment principles of vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy are: the primary issue that must be considered during treatment is whether the drug is harmful to the fetus; treatment is mainly local medication, and no systemic medication is given; it is limited to pregnant women with symptoms and signs.

From the above introduction, it is not difficult to see that candidal vaginitis is the culprit that causes the leucorrhea to be yellow and paste-like. The relevant treatment methods of candidal vaginitis are also introduced above. I believe that after reading the above introduction, everyone will have some understanding of these contents. Here we need to remind everyone that if you have candidal vaginitis, do not buy medicine on your own. Whether it is oral or manual, you must use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor!
