Patient's question:
Please help the doctor answer what to pay attention to when there is an increase in leukorrhea. I hope the expert can provide a detailed answer? Thank you for the doctor's answer.Doctor's answer:
Common causes of increased vaginal discharge:1. During candidiasis (yeast infection), the discharge may be yellow or white, mostly viscous, sometimes thin. The typical discharge resembles cottage cheese or curd-like clumps.
2. In trichomoniasis, the discharge is thin and purulent, yellow, foamy, or like dirty water (grayish-white), with a foul odor.
3. With cervical erosion, the discharge is usually yellow, viscous like mucus, and mostly odorless.
4. In gonorrhea, the discharge is yellow and purulent.
5. Conditions like endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause increased discharge, which is yellow, thin, and often accompanied by abdominal pain.
