What is the reason for yellow in vaginal discharge?

Yellow leucorrhea mostly tells you that there is something wrong with your body. Normal leucorrhea is relatively clear in color. If it is not, then if there is yellow in the leucorrhea, then it means that your body is sick. Generally speaking, problems with leucorrhea are most likely caused by vaginitis, but there are also other causes, such as cervicitis and even tumors. Therefore, if you find any problems with your leucorrhea, please go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible to avoid contracting a serious illness without knowing it, which may lead to serious consequences.

1. Candidal vaginitis is one of the common vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection, and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance of 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.

Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is beneficial to the growth and reproduction of mold. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis 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.

2. Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue and is common in submucosal uterine fibroids, fallopian tube cancer, cervical cancer, etc.

Generally speaking, yellow leucorrhea is not uncommon in life. In fact, women are very likely to suffer from gynecological inflammation. However, many people may have mild symptoms, and they will heal on their own before they know it. However, this is also due to good cleaning work, etc. If this happens for a period of time, you should take it seriously and go to the hospital immediately.
