What causes yellow discharge from the vagina?

There is usually secretion in the vagina, which is a normal metabolic phenomenon, but abnormal secretion can be distinguished by color. The most common is yellow secretion. After this happens, many women feel embarrassed and will not go to the hospital for examination. They are very concerned about the cause of the disease. So, what is the reason for yellow genital secretions? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

1. What is the reason for physiological yellow vaginal discharge?

Under physiological conditions, it means that the estrogen level in the body gradually increases before menstruation, and the secretion of cervical mucus also gradually increases. The mucus here refers to the secretion. After ovulation, estrogen levels decrease and the discharge becomes thicker. However, if there are other abnormalities at the same time as the excessive secretions, such as changes in the odor, color, or texture of the secretions, it may indicate a certain gynecological disease.

4. When suffering from candidal vaginitis, the secretion is yellow or white, most of the time it is sticky but some are thin, and the typical secretion is like tofu dregs or curds. .

5. Foreign objects enter the vagina: If there are gauze, tampons, or foreign objects placed in the uterus of menstruating women for some reason, they will stimulate reproduction and increase secretions.
