What should I do if my leukorrhea becomes yellow?

Increased yellowish leucorrhea is one of the most common manifestations of gynecology, often caused by gynecological inflammatory problems, but how to treat it specifically requires a professional doctor’s consultation. Under normal circumstances, the leucorrhea is milky white and odorless, when your leucorrhea appears yellow, it is often necessary to go to the hospital to seek the help of a doctor.

The main thing is to determine the cause of the problem. Usually, when you go to the hospital, the doctor needs to do a gynecological examination and open the vagina with a speculum to see which part of the problem is probably from the vagina, the cervix or the uterine cavity, and the doctor can often see with the naked eye whether there are abnormalities in the cervix. abnormalities.

The most common diseases that lead to increased yellowing of the leucorrhea include the following: 1. Vaginitis Normally, there are lactobacilli in the vagina, which maintain the balance of the internal environment, but if there are other pathogens infecting the vagina, this balance will be broken, leading to the reproduction of other pathogens. The more common vaginitis pathogens are bacteria, trichomonas and candida (fungi). Infection by bacteria, especially anaerobic bacteria, often leads to yellowish, smelly leukorrhea. Trichomonas infections lead to increased leucorrhea, which will typically manifest as foamy leucorrhea and vaginal itching. Fungal infections lead to increased, yellowish leucorrhea, typically with tofu-like leucorrhea and combined with itching. These vaginal infections can usually be diagnosed through a leucorrhea examination and will improve quickly with the correct medication (usually vaginal suppositories). Fungal infections are slightly more problematic and are more likely to recur.

2, cervicitis First of all, “cervical erosion” is no longer a disease, the root of the ectopic cervical columnar epithelium does not require any treatment, but cervicitis is different, cervicitis is the attachment of some pathogens in the cervix and lead to increased yellowing of the leucorrhea, the doctor through gynecological examination can probably determine whether the inflammation is The common pathogens that cause local infection of the cervix include bacteria, mycoplasma, and chlamydia. If there is acute inflammation, oral antibiotics or vaginal suppositories are usually required for treatment, but the treatment of chronic cervicitis is different because the inflammation is often delayed and suppositories are often used to treat it, and the inflammation tends to recur. The physical therapy method is needed, there are more methods of physical therapy, the more common methods include laser, freezing, microwave, high intensity focused ultrasound treatment, usually a treatment can get symptomatic relief, for patients who have not had children, physical therapy is still appropriate, there are many people worried about the future will be infertile, physical therapy on the skills of the cervix is not significant, after treatment is still possible to get pregnant and natural childbirth. LEEP knife is to remove the tissue of the cervix, which is not suitable for the treatment of cervical inflammation, especially for patients with fertility requirements, the function of the cervix will be affected after shortening, increasing the chance of preterm delivery in the future.

Inflammation of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes Inflammation of the uterine cavity is not very common clinically, but inflammation of the fallopian tubes is more frequent compared to inflammation of the uterus. The infection of the uterus and fallopian tubes can also lead to increased leucorrhea, but a gynecological examination can reveal yellow leucorrhea coming from the cervical opening and flowing out of it, often accompanied by varying degrees of abdominal pain, and ultrasound can reveal fluid in the fallopian tubes. In some cases, the repeated accumulation of fluid in the fallopian tubes leads to inflammatory infections, and surgery is needed to remove the fluid-filled fallopian tubes to improve the symptoms.

In conclusion, the yellowing of the leukorrhea is a problem of inflammation. From the point of view of prevention, inflammation of the reproductive tract is often related to the destruction of the internal environment and unclean sexual life. Vaginal douching is not good for the maintenance of the vaginal environment, so even for normal women, daily douching is not recommended.
