Patient's question:
Hello! I had sexual intercourse on the 4th day of my period, but there was a lot of bleeding. The next two days, it was just light blood discharge, and then it stopped. However, my vaginal discharge is yellow. I've only had intercourse a few times! Why did I bleed? My discharge doesn't have a bad odor, it's just yellow. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Generally, leukorrhea may be milky, purulent, and often accompanied by abdominal pain, usually caused by chronic cervical inflammation or endometritis of the cervix. Of course, when leukorrhea is yellowish with different symptoms, the underlying causes vary, mostly resulting from gynecological diseases. In the high-risk age group for tumors, it is essential to be vigilant about tumor invasion, although the probability is low, it is still worth noting. It is important to note that the diagnosis of the disease requires combining clinical manifestations. Therefore, if you feel discomfort, avoid self-medication and seek professional medical institutions for leukorrhea testing to prevent delaying the condition.
