What is the situation of yellow and sticky leucorrhea

As women, we always encounter some embarrassing problems, but we are often embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment. However, if we are sick, we must treat it well to avoid delaying it for longer and getting worse. For women, leucorrhea is a common problem. Some people have abnormally increased or decreased leucorrhea, and some people's color becomes abnormal. These are all very bad situations, but what are the specific reasons? Let me give you a detailed introduction below, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

What is normal vaginal discharge?

In a normal vagina, there may be a small amount of white, paste-like, odorless or slightly fishy leucorrhea. Normally, the amount of estrogen varies with age and menstrual cycle. In adulthood, during the middle of the menstrual cycle, close to ovulation, estrogen levels reach their peak. At this time, the amount of vaginal discharge is the largest, and it is clear, transparent and thin, like egg white. After that, estrogen levels gradually decrease, and leucorrhea becomes turbid, sticky, and less in volume. Before and after menstruation, the amount of leucorrhea may increase slightly. During pregnancy, due to high estrogen levels, leucorrhea often increases. In addition, when sexually excited, the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly and the texture becomes thinner, which serves to lubricate and protect the vagina during sexual intercourse.

What are the causes of abnormal leucorrhea?

However, under pathological conditions, the amount and properties of leucorrhea will change. Women can observe the changes in leucorrhea and seek timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent problems before they occur. The following are five common abnormal vaginal discharge and their pathological causes.

Abnormal leucorrhea reason 1: fungal vaginitis

If the amount of leucorrhea increases, is white in color, and is okara-like or curd-like, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, you may have vulvovaginal candidiasis, commonly known as candidal vaginitis.

The second reason for abnormal leucorrhea: Trichomonas vaginitis

If the amount of vaginal discharge increases and is yellow-green or yellow-white, thin and foamy, or bloody or serous, with a fishy smell, and there is pain or itching in the vulva and vagina, you may have Trichomonas vaginitis.

Abnormal leucorrhea reason three: bacterial vaginosis

If the amount of vaginal discharge increases and becomes milky or grayish white and watery, with a strong fishy or rancid odor, which is especially strong during menstruation and sexual intercourse, you may be suffering from bacterial vaginosis.

Abnormal leucorrhea cause 4: acute cervicitis

If the amount of leucorrhea increases and becomes purulent or mixed with blood, and is often accompanied by lower back pain and bloating in the lower abdomen, you may be suffering from acute cervicitis.

Abnormal leucorrhea reason 5: pelvic inflammatory disease

Increased vaginal discharge, accompanied by fever and lower abdominal pain

Having said so much, now you know why the leucorrhea becomes thick and yellow. If the problem you encounter is the same as the above, you must take the right medicine. I hope everyone can pay good attention to their body. The body is your own, and women are more delicate. You must take care of your physical and mental health. You should also pay attention to your fertility status in the future!
