Why is the vaginal discharge a little yellowish?

In daily life, many women often neglect their own hygiene due to busy work and other factors, which easily provides opportunities for the occurrence of diseases. Among them, the most common problem among women is yellow leucorrhea. Many situations will lead to abnormal color of leucorrhea. So what is the matter with leucorrhea being a little yellowish? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

It may be vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. There are many pathogens that cause vaginitis and cervicitis, such as fungi, Trichomonas, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital for routine leucorrhea and other related examinations, and treat the symptoms after finding out the cause. Before a clear diagnosis is made, please do not take any medication without authorization to avoid causing adverse reactions.

Gynecological diseases cannot simply be considered as vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, there are other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine endometrial adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc.

Yellow leucorrhea is abnormal. It is recommended to check the leucorrhea routinely, which may be related to gynecological inflammation. Leucorrhea is a small amount of white mucus flowing out of the vagina, which contains a large number of genital tract exfoliated epithelial cells, is odorless and thin. When inflammation or tumor occurs in the reproductive tract, the amount of vaginal discharge will increase and its color and properties will also change. When there is bacterial inflammation of the vagina, the amount of leucorrhea increases, becomes yellow, pus-like and has a foul odor.

When infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, it is grayish yellow, foamy and thin. When the vagina is infected with yeast, the leucorrhea increases and becomes white, creamy and thick. In case of cervicitis, it is light yellow or purulent and sticky. In senile vaginitis, the leucorrhea appears yellow watery or pus-like. When there is submucosal fibroids in the uterus or cervix, the leucorrhea may be yellow watery or bloody. In cervical cancer, the leucorrhea is particularly abundant and is yellow, watery, purulent, or rice-water-like in appearance, with a foul smell of rotten tissue. In uterine body cancer, the amount of leucorrhea increases and becomes bloody or serous, sometimes with a foul odor. When women experience increased vaginal discharge and abnormal symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly to find out the cause and receive timely treatment.

Women still need to pay more attention to their own hygiene care in daily life, because sometimes if they are a little negligent, it will often cause the color of leucorrhea to turn yellow. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has the knowledge of why the leucorrhea is a little yellowish. In the future, when such a situation occurs, you can pay attention to it and use gynecological drugs in time to help yourself recover your health in time.
