Although leucorrhea is a kind of vaginal secretion of women, it can protect the vagina, and the components of leucorrhea maintain the balance of the vaginal system. Therefore, once there is a problem with leucorrhea, it is a warning to the female body. At this time, it is necessary to find the cause and treat it in time. Then yellow leucorrhea is also a kind of abnormal leucorrhea. What is the reason for yellow leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea refers to a liquid secreted from the female vagina, which under normal circumstances plays a role in lubricating and protecting the vagina. When the leucorrhea is yellow, it is a sign of a certain disease. Yellowing of leucorrhea is an obvious symptom, and many factors need to be considered in causing it. The following are the three major symptoms and four major causes of yellow leucorrhea for women.

Three major symptoms of yellow leucorrhea:

Symptoms of yellow leucorrhea: 1. The leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow, purulent, large in amount, has a foul odor, and is often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is generally caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

Symptoms of yellow leucorrhea 2. Yellow or yellow-green leucorrhea, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor, which is mostly caused by vaginal trichomoniasis.

Symptoms of yellow leucorrhea 3. Most of them are thick in texture, sometimes thin in texture, typically milky white, like bean dregs, or like curd-like white flakes or lumps, most of which are caused by fungal infection.

Four major reasons for yellow leucorrhea:

Reasons for yellow leucorrhea: 1. Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue, and is commonly seen in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

Reason 2 for yellow vaginal discharge: Fungal vaginitis is one of the common vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection, and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause the normal vaginal flora to be imbalanced, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes it easy to get this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and autoimmune diseases are prone to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow vaginal discharge;

Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of mold. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching, often accompanied by local burning sensation. Typical leucorrhea is curd-like (tofu-like) or slightly yellow flakes, has a slight odor, and adheres tightly to the vaginal mucosa.

Reason 3 for yellow vaginal discharge: Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract. In women, it mainly exists in the vagina, and also in the urethra, paraurethral glands, bladder and other parts. In men, it often parasitizes in the urethra, prostate and other parts.

Trichomonas vaginitis is transmitted indirectly, that is, through baths, tubs, bath towels, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, medical equipment, dressings, etc. The main clinical manifestations of Trichomonas vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning or pain in the vulva and penis. The typical vaginal discharge is yellow-green, foamy, thin and has a fishy odor. When inflammation invades the urethra, there may be symptoms of urgency and frequency of urination.

Reason 4 for yellow leucorrhea: senile vaginitis, which is more common in elderly women who have been postmenopausal for many years. After menopause, ovarian function declines, endogenous estrogen is deficient, genitals atrophy, vaginal epithelium becomes thinner, local resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria can easily multiply and cause inflammation.

The important symptom of senile vaginitis is increased leucorrhea, often accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and vagina and a burning sensation in the vagina. The typical leucorrhea is light yellow, watery or purulent, has a foul odor, and is often mixed with a small amount of blood.

The above is the relevant explanation about the yellow leucorrhea in women. If women have yellow leucorrhea, it may be caused by vaginitis. We recommend not to diagnose yourself and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Female friends should pay more attention to their lifestyle in normal times. Don’t wear tight clothes, especially tight pants. Don’t wear underwear made of non-breathable materials. Try to wear cotton underwear.
