What to do if the vaginal discharge is excessive and yellow

Everyone knows that leucorrhea is a substance that is normally secreted from the female body. The normal state of this substance represents the health of the female body. Normal leucorrhea is generally white pus-like in color, or it looks transparent. If a woman has a gynecological disease, the leucorrhea will appear brown, or increase in volume, and may also cause the woman to feel itchy in the lower body. So what should I do if the leucorrhea is yellow and excessive?

3 reasons why leucorrhea is yellowish

1. Cervical inflammation

The leucorrhea is yellow and has an odor or is milky white and purulent, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

2. Amoeba infection

The leucorrhea is yellow, bloody, serous or viscous secretion, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (looks like yellow sauce soup). It is mostly caused by infection with amoeba.

3. Vaginitis

(1) Trichomonas vaginitis: Trichomonas vaginitis is a common gynecological disease, the main manifestation of which is increased leucorrhea in the form of yellow-green foam.

(2) Fungal vaginitis: This type of inflammation is caused by infection with Candida albicans, and the main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching.

(3) Senile vaginitis: It is more common in elderly women who have been postmenopausal for many years. The typical leucorrhea is light yellow watery or purulent.

What to do if the leucorrhea is yellowish

First of all, women should pay attention to the normal cleaning of the vagina. It is best to clean it with clean water. Do not use detergents or disinfectants to clean the vagina. This will lead to excessive scrubbing, which can easily cause vaginal damage and cause abnormal leucorrhea.

Secondly, women should choose their clothes carefully. In order to protect the health of their private parts, female friends are advised to wear looser pants and ventilated cotton underwear in daily life to keep dry. It is best not to use sanitary pads when not in menstrual period.

Finally, you should pay attention to your diet and eat less spicy food. A healthy diet is very helpful in preventing abnormal leucorrhea. Therefore, female friends should stay away from these irritating foods in normal times. They should eat more foods containing protein, vitamins and minerals, eat more fruits and drink more water, which is very helpful in preventing abnormal leucorrhea.
