What is the cause of the yellowish leucorrhea?

Everyone knows that normal women will have leucorrhea every month, and this is related to women's menstrual cycle. Normally, the color of leucorrhea is white and the smell is normal. However, many female friends living in China also have abnormal leucorrhea, which is a matter of concern to everyone. So, what is the cause of yellowish leucorrhea? Regarding this issue, let’s take a look at the following introduction.

Abnormal leucorrhea refers to an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge in women. Sometimes increased vaginal discharge is a normal physiological phenomenon. If increased vaginal discharge is accompanied by multiple symptoms, you should be alert to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Increased leucorrhea can be divided into physiological leucorrhea increase and pathological leucorrhea increase.

Causes:

1. Physiological

In healthy women, the increase in vaginal discharge is directly proportional to the increase in estrogen levels in the body. For example, increased vaginal discharge may occur during ovulation or pregnancy, when the endometrium grows too long, or after the use of estrogen drugs.

2. Pathological

Vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, uterine effusion or foreign body in the vagina, uterine fibroids, genital herpes, gonorrhea, condyloma acuminatum, uterine prolapse, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

examine:

Whether the leucorrhea is normal should be judged by observing the quantity, color, texture and smell.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are stimulated to proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear in color, and look like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, causing the leucorrhea at this time to have a thick texture, milky white color, poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn. In addition, there are also some physiological phenomena such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert.

What is the cause of yellowish leucorrhea? There are many reasons for abnormal leucorrhea, and they are not necessarily caused by disease, so don't be too afraid. If your vaginal discharge is often light yellow and has an unpleasant odor, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in time to undergo necessary examinations, so that you can relax as soon as possible.
