Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. Recently, there have been some abnormal changes in my leukorrhea. The color of the leukorrhea is slightly yellow, and it was translucent before. Could you please advise what detailed examination is needed for the yellow leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea is colorless and translucent, with relatively small amounts normally, and it may increase slightly during ovulation. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, yellow leukorrhea is usually a sign of an infection. Some may also experience symptoms like odor and itching. It is recommended to visit a hospital to examine the discharge carefully. The routine examination of leukorrhea, in addition to a gynecological internal examination, helps confirm the type and severity of the causative pathogens. Yellow leukorrhea is a common gynecological condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and maintain good hygiene.
