Leucorrhea yellow like phlegm

It is well known that normal leucorrhea should be colorless, transparent and odorless. If a woman's vaginal discharge suddenly increases in volume, turns yellow, and has a foul odor, she may have candidal vaginitis or other vaginitis. These are all health signals and should be given special attention. So why does women’s leucorrhea turn yellow and look like phlegm? What should you do if you experience this symptom? How should women take care of themselves in daily life?

There are many reasons for this situation. The first is gynecological inflammation.

First, let us understand candidal vaginitis. In addition to the increase in vaginal discharge and yellowing of vaginal discharge, there may also be burning and itching of the vulva and vagina, frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. If not treated in time, it may cause ulcers or scars in patients, and in severe cases, it may cause adhesion of the labia minora.

The second is caused by bacterial vaginitis. The problem of leucorrhea like yellow sputum may also be caused by bacterial vaginitis. It will also cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and Trichomonas vaginitis, which is very harmful to women's health.

Also, if this happens to the elderly, we should consider it as senile vaginitis. The increase in vaginal discharge, pus-like vaginal discharge, and foul odor are all likely to cause the vaginal discharge to be like yellow sputum. In this case, you should first go to the gynecology department for a routine vaginal discharge examination. After a clear diagnosis is made based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be given. Remember not to drink alcohol during the medication period to avoid causing unnecessary reactions.
