Patient's question:
I'm still in university and haven't had sexual activity, but recently I've noticed that my vaginal discharge isn't normal—its color and odor are problematic. Please ask: Why is my discharge yellow? I'm a bit scared.Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea is a mixture of secretions from the endometrium, cervical secretions, and vaginal secretions. When there is internal damp-heat or inflammation, leukorrhea may turn yellow. Yellow leukorrhea is generally considered to indicate gynecological inflammation. You should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and a detailed leukorrhea test. Based on the test results, symptomatic treatment should be provided. The impact of yellow leukorrhea on patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with yellow leukorrhea can receive professional treatment.
