What is the reason for yellow-green vaginal discharge with odor?

When a girl becomes a woman, she will be accompanied by various gynecological diseases. Leucorrhea is a sharp tool for judging gynecological diseases. When there is abnormality in leucorrhea, it should be paid extreme attention. At this time, gynecological diseases may occur. Normal leucorrhea is similar to egg white. If the leucorrhea is yellow-green and has an odor, it is very likely that gynecological inflammation has occurred. However, there are often some misunderstandings in the treatment of abnormal leucorrhea. Let's understand what is going on with yellow-green leucorrhea with an odor.

Leucorrhea is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle of the menstrual period and becomes thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity. There is an increase in leucorrhea before menstruation and during pregnancy. Non-primate mammals appear during estrus.

If leucorrhea has a foul odor, it may be related to the following factors

⒈ Trichomonas vaginitis: caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, it is a common vaginal disease that is prone to occur before and after menstruation. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching, which may be accompanied by burning, pain, and dyspareunia. If combined with urinary tract infection, frequent urination and painful urination may occur. The secretion is purulent, grayish yellow, yellowish white or yellowish green, foamy and has a foul odor. Leucorrhea is foamy and has a foul smell, which is caused by the anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates by Trichomonas. The main treatment drug is metronidazole, which can be applied systemically or topically. Men often have no symptoms after infection and can easily become a source of infection, so sexual partners should be treated at the same time.

2. Gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, with purulent infection of the urogenital system as the main manifestation. Its incidence rate ranks first among sexually transmitted diseases in China. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, which is purulent and has a foul odor. Cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for treatment, and it is emphasized that sexual partners must be treated at the same time.

3. Cervical cancer or endometrial cancer: Both are common malignant lesions of the female reproductive tract. When combined with infection, vaginal discharge is often rice-soup-like or pus-bloody, with a foul odor, which is generally a manifestation of late-stage cancer.

Gynecological inflammation in women is particularly prone to recurrence, so many women lose confidence. Please do not give up. Gynecological diseases must be taken seriously. Pay more attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and observe leucorrhea carefully. If the leucorrhea is yellow-green and has an odor, it means that a gynecological disease has been born. At this time, you must seek medical attention in time to achieve the best and fastest treatment.
