The reason why leucorrhea is yellow and has a fishy smell

Abnormal leucorrhea causes not only physical harm but also psychological harm to women. Yellow leucorrhea with a fishy smell can cause serious psychological harm to women. Many women are very anxious about it because they are afraid that others will smell the smell on their bodies. Now let me explain to you the reasons why leucorrhea is yellow and has a fishy smell. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Thick and yellow leucorrhea is a manifestation of abnormal leucorrhea. Clinically, it is mostly caused by bacterial infection. You should be alert to the possibility of vaginal inflammation, such as Trichomonas vaginitis. Trichomonas vaginitis is a common type of vaginitis. The main clinical symptoms are yellow or yellow-green leucorrhea. The typical leucorrhea is thin and foamy. Long-term abnormal leucorrhea not only brings inconvenience to life, but also affects physical health. It should be taken seriously, such as inflammation aggravating infection, inducing other inflammations, causing infertility, etc.

Since vaginal lactobacilli in the vagina of adult women can break down the glycogen contained in the vaginal epithelial cells into lactic acid, keeping the vaginal secretions acidic (pH 4-5), and the acidic environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella, even if 60% of healthy women carry vaginal Gardnerella, no clinical symptoms will appear.

Once the vaginal environment and acidity change, such as repeated vaginal douching, drug abuse, etc., Gardnerella and certain anaerobic bacteria will multiply in large numbers. It is reported that when suffering from bacterial vaginosis, Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria are mixed in the patient's vagina, which increases 100 to 1000 times compared with the vagina of normal healthy women.

Afterwards, the alkaline semen (pH 7.2-7.5) enters the vagina, further promoting the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria, causing the release of a large amount of amine substances, so the vagina emits a corrupt fishy smell.

The above points are the reasons why leucorrhea is yellow and accompanied by a fishy smell. In order to prevent others from smelling this odor, many female patients wear thick pants to cover it up. However, this practice is wrong and we need to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, female patients should avoid moisture, excessive fatigue, and unclean sexual life.
