Causes of yellow vaginal discharge

Causes of yellow vaginal discharge

Women will have some excessive or insufficient gynecological diseases because female organs are internal and not as easy to clean as male friends. Women have menstruation every month and need to have an IUD inserted after giving birth. If they do not pay attention to hygiene, these phenomena will cause women to develop gynecological diseases. Leucorrhea is also one of the clinical phenomena that reflects whether a woman has gynecological diseases. It is normal for leucorrhea to be white, and some leucorrhea is yellow. The following is an explanation of the yellowing of white background.

Yellow leucorrhea has nothing to do with yellow urine. Yellow leucorrhea is a manifestation of abnormal leucorrhea. Abnormal leucorrhea is manifested by changes in color, quality and quantity, and symptoms such as purulent leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea, watery leucorrhea and dregs-like leucorrhea may appear. These symptoms are all warning signs of gynecological diseases. Yellow leucorrhea is usually caused by gynecological inflammation, so you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time for timely treatment. Leucorrhea is vaginal discharge, which is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge changes with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in volume, white in color, and paste-like. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases. If there are abnormal changes in the color, quality, and quantity of leucorrhea, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. Clinically, most women's abnormal leucorrhea is caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene. Some people mistakenly believe that washing the vulva with clean water is the safest, and even use hot water to wash the vulva when it itches. They also say that they feel very comfortable after the hot wash. In fact, the vulva is invaded by bacteria just like the oral cavity, and saliva and vaginal secretions have self-cleaning functions. The oral cavity is no dirtier than the vagina, but why do we need to brush our teeth in the morning and evening? Going against common sense and being self-righteous can lead to imbalance of vulvar flora, abnormal leucorrhea, more severe itching, and even vaginitis, vaginal dryness, and unpleasant sexual life.

Yellow leucorrhea indicates that a woman may have a gynecological disease and vaginal inflammation. At this time, women need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. They can choose to follow the doctor's instructions and choose appropriate methods and drugs to reduce inflammation. In daily life, women need to keep themselves clean before and after sexual intercourse, wash every day, change their underwear frequently, and keep them clean, which will reduce the chance of gynecological diseases.
