What is the reason for thick yellow vaginal discharge?

Gynecological diseases, systemic diseases, big and small illnesses are endless! It seems that women can have gynecological diseases for a lifetime. They always find that something seems to be wrong with their bodies when they are not paying attention. Many women find that their leucorrhea is sometimes yellow and thick, and they always feel uncomfortable. But I can’t give a specific answer! It’s really worrying. So why does women’s leucorrhea become yellow and thick? Is this a disease?

What diseases does abnormal leucorrhea indicate? According to experts from Nantong Hemeijia Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, several common gynecological diseases are as follows:

1. Uterine fibroids can cause abnormal leucorrhea. Uterine fibroids are common gynecological tumors with a high incidence rate, often with symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities, anemia, compression, and abdominal masses. If there are abnormalities in the leucorrhea, especially if there is blood mixed in it, you should be alert to the possibility of uterine fibroids, especially malignant tumors.

2. Cervicitis will cause an increase in vaginal discharge, which is sometimes the only symptom. Increased and turbid leucorrhea with pus or blood, as well as urination symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency are typical symptoms of cervicitis and cervical erosion.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease is often manifested by excessive amount of leucorrhea, which may be thick like pus or thin like water, or have a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as sore waist and weak legs, and bloating and pain in the lower abdomen. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease also often has symptoms such as chills and fever, increased body temperature, etc. In addition to abnormal leucorrhea, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease mostly has symptoms such as irritative infertility, irregular menstruation, and dull pain in the lower abdomen.

4. Increased leucorrhea, yellow or yellow-green, with a purulent odor, foamy or curd-like, and in severe cases mixed with blood. First of all, consider the possibility of vaginitis.

.

Abnormal leucorrhea is common in many women. In fact, abnormal leucorrhea is the starting point of many female diseases! Many diseases start with physical discomfort, especially abnormalities in the physiological structure, which always foreshadow something! Therefore, yellow and thick leucorrhea can also cause many diseases. If you find it, you must seek timely treatment, listen to the doctor, and don't be careless. Having a healthy body is the key.
