What’s going on if I have a lot of yellow vaginal discharge?

Diseases of the female reproductive system are gynecological diseases, including vulvar diseases, vaginal diseases, uterine diseases, fallopian tube diseases, ovarian diseases, etc. Gynecological diseases are common and frequently occurring diseases among women.

Guidance:

It is recommended to drink more water and pay attention to observation, keep the vulva clean, eat less raw, cold and spicy food, wash with medicine, go to the hospital for treatment when necessary, and pay attention to personal hygiene.

If the amount of vaginal discharge is large, has a peculiar smell and is accompanied by low back pain, it is possible to consider genital inflammation, which is mostly in the category of cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and the possibility of vaginitis is not ruled out. Leucorrhea is composed of secretions from the cervix, uterus and vaginal exudate. Normal people's leucorrhea is colorless and odorless. During the ovulation period of the menstrual cycle, the amount of leucorrhea increases and becomes thinner, which is to facilitate the formation of fertilized eggs and is not pathological. If the amount of leucorrhea is always large, consider genital inflammation, such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

Guidance:

Increased leucorrhea accompanied by vulvar skin itching, pain, or burning sensation may be considered as vulvitis or vaginitis. Common types of vaginitis include trichomoniasis, candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Their diagnosis requires leucorrhea examination. If the amount of leucorrhea is large and accompanied by lower abdominal distension and lumbar pain, cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease may be considered. Differentiation requires the help of gynecological examination, colposcopy, B-ultrasound, etc. Since the treatment of genital inflammation in different parts and inflammation in the same part caused by different causes is different, it is recommended to complete relevant gynecological examinations, make a clear diagnosis, and treat symptomatically.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slight fishy smell or no smell; the amount and texture of its secretion are affected by the level of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and the amount, quantity, and texture change periodically with the menstrual cycle. If the leucorrhea increases for no reason or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, and odor, you should be alert.

Guidance:

Abnormal leucorrhea may be caused by some gynecological diseases. The harm caused by these diseases should not be underestimated by anyone. Therefore, when patients have abnormal leucorrhea, please do some examinations in time and then receive timely treatment.
