Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have now finished my menstrual period, and it has been a few weeks. I have noticed an increase in leukorrhea accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness. The leukorrhea is yellow but has no odor. This has been going on for some time, but I didn't pay much attention because there was no odor. Last year, during my university days, my leukorrhea was also yellow, but I didn't seek medical attention because I didn't have any symptoms. I would like to ask, in my case, what might be the problem? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: If leukorrhea is yellow and accompanied by external genital itching, it is often a clinical manifestation of vaginitis and cervicitis. The pathogens that cause vaginitis and cervicitis are numerous, such as cocci, bacilli, fungi, trichomonads, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, etc. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department of a hospital to conduct a detailed etiological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions. After identifying the cause, determine the sensitive medication for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.In addition, during the treatment of increased leukorrhea, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of increased leukorrhea.
