Patient's question:
I used to be very healthy in all aspects of my body, but recently, for some reason, I've been feeling itchy in my private area and have noticed an increase in discharge, which is yellow. I don't know if I'm getting another gynecological disease again.Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukorrhea is the secretion of the vagina and cervix. Under normal circumstances, the amount of leukorrhea is very small, clear, shiny, and sticky, without a smell. It tends to increase before menstruation, during ovulation, and during pregnancy. If it stays in the vagina for too long, it may slightly turn yellow. If leukorrhea increases, turns yellow, and has an odor, it is often a clinical manifestation of vaginitis and cervicitis. There are many pathogens that can cause vaginitis and cervicitis, such as: cocci, bacilli, fungi, trichomonads, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for pathological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.
