On the contrary, if the amount of leucorrhea increases, is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and has a foul odor, and if this situation persists for a long time, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of vaginal foreign body and consider possible causes such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

To determine whether you have vaginitis or other diseases, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice.
