What is the cause of yellow pus in leucorrhea?

The appearance of leucorrhea is not only a normal physiological phenomenon, but also often a barometer of women's health. Everyone should be clear about the characteristics of normal leucorrhea. The occurrence of abnormal conditions needs to be taken seriously. For example, when yellow pus appears in leucorrhea, we should think about the possible diseases that may be caused. So, what is the matter with yellow pus in leucorrhea? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Trichomonas vaginitis: The leucorrhea is yellow-green or yellow with an odor, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white in color, mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.

Chronic cervicitis: The leucorrhea is yellow and has an odor or becomes milky white and purulent, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervical endometritis.

Fungal vaginitis: The leucorrhea is yellowish-white, mostly with a thick texture, but sometimes it can be 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.

Bacterial vaginosis: The leucorrhea is yellow, bloody, serous or viscous, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances. It is mostly caused by infection with amoeba.

Fallopian tube cancer: 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 in bursts continuously.

The above is an introduction to what yellow pus in leucorrhea means. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. Yellow pus in vaginal discharge clearly indicates some kind of gynecological disease. As for what kind of gynecological disease it is, it cannot be identified simply by relying on symptoms. It is best to seek help from the hospital and choose a regular gynecological hospital for a comprehensive examination, so that better treatment is possible.
