Patient's question:

What are the reasons for excessive leukorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of increased leukorrhea include:
① During candidal vulvovaginitis, leukorrhea may be yellow or white in color, mostly viscous in texture, sometimes thin, and typically appears as cottage cheese-like or creamy clumps.
② Leukorrhea in trichomoniasis is thin and purulent, yellow in color, foamy, or like dirty water, grayish-white in color, and has a foul odor.
③ With cervical erosion, leukorrhea is usually yellow in color, viscous like mucus, and mostly odorless.
④ Leukorrhea in gonorrhea is yellow and purulent.
⑤ During endometritis or other pelvic inflammatory diseases, leukorrhea may increase, turning yellow and thin, often accompanied by abdominal pain.
⑥ With fallopian tube cancer, due to tumor stimulation of fallopian tube epithelial fluid leakage and necrotic tissue, watery leukorrhea may occur, continuous and unending.
