What is the cause of yellowish and bloody vaginal discharge?

Due to the special structure of the female reproductive organs, it is easy to suffer from gynecological diseases if you don't pay attention. This can be easily judged from the secretion of leucorrhea. Since the probability of occurrence is relatively high, women are very worried. Once the leucorrhea turns yellow or contains blood, they will be anxious and very concerned about the possible causes. So, what happens when leucorrhea turns yellow and contains blood? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Yellow leucorrhea without odor may be senile vaginitis. Senile vaginitis is common in elderly women after menopause. It is caused by the decline of ovarian function, decreased estrogen levels, atrophy of the vaginal wall, thinning of the mucosa, decreased glycogen content in epithelial cells, increased pH value in the vagina, and reduced local resistance, making it easy for pathogenic bacteria to invade and multiply, causing inflammation.

Can yellow leucorrhea without odor be caused by cervical erosion? The main symptom of cervical erosion is increased leucorrhea. Due to the different pathogens, as well as the differences in the scope and degree of erosion, the characteristics of leucorrhea are also different:

1. If the erosion is mainly caused by columnar epithelial hyperplasia, the inflammatory infection is not obvious and the leucorrhea is mainly transparent mucus.

2. If cervical erosion is accompanied by obvious inflammatory infection, the leucorrhea will be yellow, purulent and sticky. If the erosion area is small or the lesion is simple and shallow, the amount of vaginal discharge may be less.

3. If the lesion involves a deeper, larger area of ​​severe erosion, the amount of leucorrhea will be larger, and occasionally may contain a small amount of blood or blood. Some patients may sometimes complain of contact bleeding.

What is the cause of blood streaks in leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea is a white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. Leucorrhea is divided into physiological leucorrhea and pathological leucorrhea. Pathological leucorrhea is mostly caused by inflammation. When women have abnormal leucorrhea, the main symptoms are usually increased leucorrhea, too little leucorrhea, or leucorrhea with a strange smell. However, some women have bloody leucorrhea. So, what is the reason for bloody leucorrhea?

The culprit for bloody leucorrhea is cervical erosion, which is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. When the epidermis of the external os of the cervix falls off and is replaced by another epithelial tissue at the os of the cervix, the new epithelium covering the surface is very thin, and you can even see the blood vessels and red tissue underneath. It looks like real erosion, so it is called cervical erosion.

Cervical erosion, mild cases often have no obvious symptoms, moderate cases, especially severe cases of erosion mainly manifested by increased leucorrhea. Due to different pathogens, scope and degree of inflammation, the amount, shape, color and smell of leucorrhea are also different. It can be milky white mucous or yellow pus or leucorrhea with blood. Cervical erosion can cause contact bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, there may be low back pain, sacral pain, abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea, which will worsen during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. The sticky and purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to the passage of sperm, which can cause infertility and seriously affect women's physical and mental health.

The above is an introduction to what causes yellow and bloody leucorrhea. I hope it will be helpful for women. When the leucorrhea turns yellow and contains blood, it is a typical leucorrhea abnormality and may cause many gynecological diseases. It must be given enough attention and promptly sought diagnosis and treatment at a regular gynecological hospital to prevent more serious impact on women's health.
