Why does a woman’s leucorrhea suddenly turn yellow?

Women's leucorrhea is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon. It is most appropriate to compare leucorrhea to a barometer of women's physical health, which directly reflects whether a woman's body is healthy. If the leucorrhea is normal, it must be viscous, colorless, odorless and transparent. If you are in the ovulation period, the leucorrhea will be like clear nasal discharge. Some women find that their leucorrhea turns yellow. What is the reason?

1. The leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green, thin and thick, with a large amount of foam, accompanied by vulvar itching and a foul odor. Most of them are patients with Trichomonas vaginalis.

2. The leucorrhea is yellow or white, typically in the shape of tofu dregs or curds, and is accompanied by vulvar itching. Most of the time, it is thick in texture, but sometimes it can be thin and slightly smelly. It is usually fungal vaginitis.

3. The leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow, purulent, large in amount, and has a foul odor, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is generally caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

4. The leucorrhea is yellow-white in color, and most of the time it is sticky, but sometimes it can be thin. It is typically milky white, like bean dregs, or in the form of curd-like white flakes or lumps. Most of the time it is caused by fungal infection.

5. The leucorrhea is yellow watery or purulent, the amount of leucorrhea increases and has a foul odor, the leucorrhea contains blood, and there is a feeling of heaviness and burning in the lower abdomen and vagina. Most of them are vaginitis in the elderly.

However, the manifestations of abnormal and yellow leucorrhea are not as typical as described above, and mixed infections often occur. Therefore, it is impossible to make a clear diagnosis based on simple appearance judgment. It is best to go to the gynecology department for a routine examination in order to get a clear diagnosis and timely treatment. Especially when both parties or one of them has a history of unclean sexual intercourse, they should actively seek medical treatment, preferably in the dermatology and venereology department to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. At present, the medical community has corresponding effective drugs for bacterial (including gonococcal), fungal, and Trichomonas vaginal infections, so after finding out the cause, highly targeted and effective treatment can be obtained. In addition, it is important to point out that couples suffering from trichomoniasis must be treated together. Otherwise, if only the woman is treated while the man is still a carrier of the bacteria or pathogenic microorganisms, the woman may be reinfected through sexual intercourse after recovery.

I would like to remind all women that during sexual life, they should not only pay attention to their own personal hygiene, but also ask their partners to pay attention to personal hygiene. Men should also clean their lower body before each sexual intercourse and should not be afraid of the trouble. It is best to urinate immediately after sexual intercourse, which can flush away bacteria and viruses and is beneficial to your health.
