Why is a woman's vaginal discharge green and yellow?

Greenish-yellow leucorrhea in women is an abnormal condition. Generally speaking, leucorrhea cannot be this color. For friends who encounter this situation, they must want to know the reason why women's leucorrhea is greenish-yellow. So what's the matter with greenish-yellow leucorrhea in women? Please see the detailed introduction below.

Leucorrhea is composed of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells and white blood cells. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is transparent, white, paste-like or egg white-like, sticky, small in amount, and has no fishy or other odors, and has no adverse effects on women's health. So why does women’s leucorrhea appear green and yellow? Greenish yellow vaginal discharge may be associated with the following diseases:

1. The leucorrhea is green or yellow-green with an odor or is milky white and purulent, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

2. The vaginal discharge is green or yellow-green and bloody, serous or viscous secretion, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (looks like yellow sauce soup). It is mostly caused by infection with amoeba.

3. The leucorrhea turns yellow and white, and is mostly sticky, but sometimes thin. It is typically milky white, like bean dregs, or in the form of curd-like white flakes or lumps. Most of the time, it is caused by fungal infection.

4. When suffering from fallopian tube cancer, due to the tumor stimulating the fallopian tube epithelium to exude fluid and the necrosis of the diseased tissue, the leucorrhea is mostly intermittent, clear, yellow-red liquid, flowing out of the vagina in bursts continuously.

5. When women suffer from cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, uterine cancer and other diseases, the "leucorrhea" they secrete is mostly characterized by: leucorrhea with a peculiar smell, rice-washing water-like appearance, turbidity, and sometimes mixed with blood in a light pink color.

6. Trichomonas vaginitis. The most common symptom of Trichomonas vaginitis is increased vaginal discharge. The leucorrhea is yellow-green pus-like, thin in texture, and has a special odor. It is often accompanied by a burning sensation in the vulva, pain during sexual intercourse, and urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Because this disease is prone to recurrence, it is important to ensure that it is treated thoroughly. It is best to go to a professional hospital for treatment.

In short, there are many reasons why women's leucorrhea turns green and yellow, and many gynecological diseases can cause women's leucorrhea to turn green and yellow. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends with such symptoms go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations, which will make it easier to determine the cause of the disease and make treatment more effective. It should be noted that some gynecological diseases need to be treated by both men and women! Otherwise, cross infection will still occur.
