Doctor's answer:
If there is an increase in leukorrhea without any reason, or accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert. Common causes of increased leukorrhea include: during candidal vulvovaginitis, leukorrhea may be yellow or white, mostly viscous in texture, sometimes also thin in texture. Typical leukorrhea appears like cottage cheese or curd-like. In trichomoniasis, leukorrhea is thin and purulent, yellow in color, foamy, or like dirty water, grayish-white in color, with a foul odor. During cervical erosion, leukorrhea is generally yellow in color, viscous like mucus, and mostly odorless. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
