How to treat yellow and smelly leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a kind of secretion in every female body. Normal leucorrhea is generally white and stringy, and odorless and colorless. If a woman has yellow and smelly leucorrhea, it is a manifestation of a gynecological disease. This may be a manifestation of vaginitis or cervicitis. You need to pay more attention to personal hygiene, wash and change your underwear as often as possible, and take some Chinese medicine for conditioning.

Pathological classification of leucorrhea

1. Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and similar in properties to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount is significantly increased. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered. White or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea: a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis, which may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

2. Curd-like leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

3. Gray, fishy-smelling leucorrhea: common in bacterial vaginosis.

4. Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green, sticky, and often smelly. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or foreign objects retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

5. Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.

6. Watery leucorrhea: Continuous discharge of watery leucorrhea that resembles rice washing water and has a strange odor is generally caused by advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellow or red watery vaginal discharge, you should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.
