Leucorrhea yogurt flavor

If the leucorrhea smells like yogurt, it indicates an abnormal reaction. No matter what the reason is, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination first, especially a leucorrhea test. Only then can you clearly know the real cause of your illness and do not delay the best time for treatment at home. Some people think that the yogurt smell of leucorrhea is caused by pregnancy. In fact, this has little to do with pregnancy, but is due to illness.

If the leucorrhea has a yogurt smell and is thick and yogurt-like or tofu-like in shape, and there are severe symptoms of vulvar itching, this is a typical case of vaginal candidiasis. In this case, you can use 2% to 4% baking soda for vaginal flushing to increase the vaginal pH, and then use vaginal suppositories such as clotrimazole suppositories or nystatin suppositories. If local medications are ineffective or the condition is stubborn, systemic medications can also be used, such as oral itraconazole or fluconazole.

Is yogurt-like vaginal discharge a sign of pregnancy?

Yogurt-like leucorrhea has nothing to do with pregnancy and may be a gynecological disease. Normal leucorrhea is:

1. Puerperal leucorrhea: In the first few days after delivery, there is a lot of blood discharged, which is called bloody lochia; followed by serous lochia; 2 to 3 weeks after delivery, the discharge is a mixture of degenerated decidual tissue, cervical mucus, vaginal epidermal cells and bacteria, which is white in color and called white lochia, also known as puerperal leucorrhea, which can last until 4 to 6 weeks after delivery or even later.

2. Pubertal leucorrhea: With the onset of puberty, the ovarian follicles begin to develop. Under the influence of estrogen secreted by the follicles, girls often begin to have a small amount of mucous leucorrhea 1 to 2 years before menarche, which can last until the ovulatory menstrual cycle is established 1 to 2 years after menarche.

3. Leucorrhea during childbearing age: Within 2 to 3 days before ovulation of each menstrual cycle, women of childbearing age experience a gradual rise in estrogen levels, which in turn causes increased mucus secretion from the cervical glands. Thin, transparent, and sticky leucorrhea may appear at this time. 2 to 3 days before menstruation, there is often more thick leucorrhea due to pelvic congestion.

What color is normal vaginal discharge?

Normal leucorrhea is thin, transparent or white and odorless. If the following three types of leucorrhea appear, you should be alert to gynecological inflammation:

1. What is the color of normal vaginal discharge?

When suffering from candidal vaginitis, the typical leucorrhea is in the form of tofu dregs or curds, and the vulva will be extremely itchy, often accompanied by a local burning sensation.

2. Yellow or green foamy leucorrhea

The main clinical manifestations of Trichomonas vaginitis are increased amount of leucorrhea, mild itching and burning pain in the vulva and vagina, and yellow-green, foamy leucorrhea with an odor. When inflammation invades the urethra, there may be symptoms of urgency and frequency of urination.

3. Yellow pus and thick leucorrhea

Increased vaginal discharge is the main symptom of chronic cervicitis. Usually the vaginal discharge is yellow and purulent, sometimes accompanied by a fishy smell, or there may be bleeding during sexual intercourse, vulvar itching or burning discomfort. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbar region and distension in the lower abdomen. These symptoms worsen before and after menstruation, bowel movements, and sexual intercourse. Sometimes it is accompanied by frequent urination, difficulty urinating, irregular menstruation, infertility, etc.

The above is an introduction to whether yogurt-like leucorrhea indicates pregnancy. I believe everyone has understood it. In fact, there are many reasons for yogurt-like leucorrhea, so you can't think that you are pregnant just because of this. If you want to know whether you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. If it is caused by a disease, you should seek treatment in time.
