Female friends all know that thick and yellow leucorrhea must be abnormal. Abnormal leucorrhea will lead to other diseases in the body, so we must pay attention to it. However, if our leucorrhea is thick and yellow, we must find the cause and receive relevant treatment. This will prevent us from developing other gynecological diseases. Let’s take a look at what causes thick and yellow leucorrhea.

What is the reason for the thick and yellow leucorrhea?

Yellow and sticky leucorrhea is a sign of abnormal leucorrhea. If this symptom occurs, you should be alert to the possibility of gynecological inflammation in women, such as the common cervicitis. Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease in women. The main clinical manifestations are increased vaginal discharge, yellow, sticky or purulent mucus, occasionally accompanied by blood or blood in the vaginal discharge. It must not be taken lightly. If not treated in time, severe cases can often induce cervical diseases such as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, etc., which not only affect the normal quality of life but also cause harm to the body.

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. The amount of leucorrhea increases and is yellow or yellow-green in color, with a pus-like odor and is foamy or curd-like. In severe cases, the leucorrhea may be mixed with blood. The possibility of vaginitis should be considered first.

Whether leucorrhea is healthy or not is closely related to women's gynecological health. However, many women do not pay attention to yellow and sticky leucorrhea, thinking that it does not hurt or itch and has no effect, so they do not take timely treatment, which gradually develops into more serious consequences.

To sum up, these are the reasons why women’s leucorrhea is thick and yellow. If women have such abnormal leucorrhea, they must receive timely treatment to avoid other serious gynecological diseases. Leucorrhea is a sign of health for women. If there are any abnormalities, it will sound the alarm for the health of our female friends.
