Patient's question:
After giving birth, my leukorrhea has not been normal. It's yellow, very thick, and in large quantities. I would like to ask: What are the common causes of increased leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and translucent, sometimes viscous, without an odor. During puberty, leukorrhea is influenced by estrogen and exhibits cyclical changes, meaning it may increase or decrease intermittently. During ovulation, leukorrhea becomes clearer and more abundant, while at other times it is less so. If abnormal, it is recommended to undergo a detailed leukorrhea test to identify any infections before receiving targeted treatment. The recurrence of increased leukorrhea significantly affects women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up tests after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
