The leucorrhea is thick, yellow and has a fishy smell

Normal leucorrhea should be transparent, without any odor or other colors. White leucorrhea is also normal, but when the leucorrhea carries inflammation and bacterial infection, the leucorrhea is not white but yellow, green or dark. These need to be specially observed.

Reason 1: Yellow watery leucorrhea is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue, and is common in submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc.

Reason 2: Candidal vaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans infection. It is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause imbalance in the normal vaginal flora, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi and makes people more susceptible to this disease. Patients taking corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and autoimmune diseases are more susceptible to this disease. Patients with vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic wasting diseases are prone to yellow leucorrhea.

Reason 3: Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common vaginitis, caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection

Caused by, Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan, often parasitic in the urogenital tract, in women mainly in the vagina, also in the urethra, paraurethral glands, bladder and other parts, in men often parasitic in the urethra, prostate and other parts.

Reason 4: Senile vaginitis is more common in elderly women who have been postmenopausal for many years. After menopause, ovarian function declines, endogenous estrogen is deficient, genitals atrophy, vaginal epithelium becomes thinner, local resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria can easily multiply and cause inflammation.

The important symptom of senile vaginitis is increased leucorrhea, often accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and vagina and a burning sensation in the vagina. The typical leucorrhea is light yellow, watery or purulent, has a foul odor, and is often mixed with a small amount of blood.
