Why is the vaginal discharge always yellow?

Leucorrhea is a substance secreted by every woman's vagina. Normal leucorrhea is usually white or colorless, but some women sometimes have yellow leucorrhea. Why is this? If this situation is found, female friends must pay attention to it. You should know that leucorrhea can simply indicate the physical condition of women. If it is this abnormal yellow leucorrhea, it means that women are sick. Common problems with leucorrhea are certain inflammations, such as vaginitis.

1. Senile vaginitis 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.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis 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, toilets, clothing, medical equipment, dressings, bath towels, swimming pools, bathtubs, 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.

However, don't panic too much if your leucorrhea turns yellow. If it's just yellow for a short time and there are no other symptoms, then there's generally no problem. But if this continues for many days, or if there are other symptoms, such as odor, itching, etc., then it means you are sick.
