Leucorrhea is a normal reaction in women, it is vaginal discharge. When the vaginal discharge is normal, it has a protective effect on the female body. After the vaginal discharge turns yellow, we must pay attention to it, especially the cause.

The role of vaginal discharge

(4) Leucorrhea is milky white water. Patients with pelvic tumors, uterine retroflexion, chronic systemic diseases (heart failure, diabetes, anemia, tuberculosis, etc.), pelvic and uterine congestion, and vaginal secretions increase.

(5) Urine has nothing to do with personal hygiene. Urine, ailments, and urine are hidden in the vagina. Leucorrhea turns yellow without paying attention to personal hygiene, not changing sanitary pads or underwear, not washing the genitals, and not washing underwear are related to women's daily habits.

(6) What happens when the vaginal discharge turns yellow after being ignited? It is possible that due to lack of attention to lifestyle habits, the body may become inflamed, leading to yellowing of the vaginal discharge.

(6) Leucorrhea with blood is commonly seen in cervical polyps, side effects caused by intrauterine devices, submucosal uterine fibroids, and severe chronic cervicitis.

(7) When suffering from fallopian tube cancer, due to the stimulation of the tumor, the fallopian tube epithelium exudates and the necrosis of the diseased tissue, the vaginal discharge is intermittent, clear, and yellow red liquid, which flows out from the vagina one after another, continuously.
