Normal vaginal discharge yellow

Routine examination of leucorrhea is an examination item that many women will undergo during their physical examination. If the routine leucorrhea examination is abnormal, then the woman has certain gynecological diseases, but the routine leucorrhea examination also has certain errors. If the leucorrhea is normal but yellow, other gynecological examinations are still needed. Here I will introduce to you the reasons why leucorrhea turns yellow!

1. Symptoms of gynecological diseases

Sometimes women's leucorrhea appears yellow and watery. This type of leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue. The most common diseases that cause this phenomenon include submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

2. Fungal vaginitis

Candidal vaginitis will cause symptoms such as yellow leucorrhea. Candidal vaginitis is often caused by Candida albicans infection. It is generally more common in diabetic patients and pregnant women. People who take broad-spectrum antibiotics for a long time may cause vaginal flora imbalance and lead to candidal vaginitis.

People who frequently take corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs or have immune system diseases are more likely to suffer from this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency or chronic wasting diseases are also very likely to have yellow vaginal discharge.

Young women may also suffer from candidal vaginitis due to wearing nylon underwear, which may cause the temperature and humidity in the genitals to be too high, leading to the proliferation of mold.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, which often parasitizes in the female urinary and reproductive system. It can be transmitted through sexual intercourse or through shared baths, bath towels, underwear, toilets, swimming pools, etc. It often manifests as increased vaginal discharge, itching of the vulva and vagina, burning and pain, etc., and the vaginal discharge may be very typical yellow or even yellow-green in color.

4. Senile vaginitis

After menopause, elderly women's ovarian function degenerates, endogenous estrogen deficiency occurs, genitals atrophy, vaginal epithelial tissue becomes thinner, and local resistance decreases, making them more susceptible to local bacterial and pathogen infections. Symptoms generally include increased and yellow vaginal discharge, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and vagina, a burning sensation in the vagina, yellow watery or purulent vaginal discharge with an odor, and often accompanied by blood.
