What is the reason for the yellow discharge?

Women are more familiar with the condition of leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is transparent or milky white and sticky. Leucorrhea that is yellow and watery is abnormal and is accompanied by an odor, which has a significant impact on women's health and normal life. Therefore, we must find out the cause of yellow watery leucorrhea so as to better treat it. So, what is the reason for the leucorrhea to be yellow and watery? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Experts pointed out that leucorrhea is a liquid secreted from the female vagina. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is milky white, small in amount, odorless and transparent. During puberty, leucorrhea changes under the influence of estrogen. During ovulation, the amount of leucorrhea is large and like egg white.

Yellowing of leucorrhea is usually a typical symptom of inflammation. Normal leucorrhea is flocculent, white, highly viscous, does not adhere to the vaginal wall, is mostly deposited in the posterior fornix, and has no odor. When the leucorrhea turns yellow, it is best for female friends to go to the hospital for a clear examination in time to avoid delaying the best diagnosis and treatment period and worsening the condition.

Women need early treatment when the leucorrhea is watery, as it is often an early sign of certain diseases. For example, gynecological inflammatory infections such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and candidal vaginitis. Or it could be advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellow or red watery vaginal discharge, you should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer. Vaginitis is not uncurable, you just need to persist in the treatment.
