My period is delayed and my leucorrhea is yellow

Leucorrhea is a normal secretion from the female private parts, but it is also very easy to have abnormalities. The most common abnormalities are color abnormalities or odors. In daily life, some women experience yellow leucorrhea and itchy and painful vulva. These are typical manifestations of vaginitis, which can be divided into many types and we need to have a comprehensive understanding of them. Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Fungal vaginitis

Vaginitis candidiasis is one of the common vaginitis. The main symptoms 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. Candidal vaginitis is often caused by infection with Candida albicans, and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance in the normal vaginal flora, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes people more susceptible to this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and autoimmune diseases are more susceptible to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow leucorrhea.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis

This is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, which is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract. In women, it mainly exists in the vagina, but 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.

3. Senile vaginitis

This disease 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.
