Yellow mucous discharge. With scent and various shades

A woman secretes secretions from the vaginal cavity, and this is considered a normal physiological process. But not all discharge is normal. Every woman should know for herself which of them speak of the norm and which of them indicate pathology. Therefore, let’s look at why yellow discharge appears at different periods.

Normal yellow discharge

If a woman has discharge that is slightly yellow in color, without odor or other signs of discharge, then doctors consider this to be normal.

Basic parameters of the norm:

Normal light yellow discharge should not be released in large quantities. To make it more clear, the norm is no more than 1 teaspoon. Such discharge can occur during sexual intercourse, as well as during the menstrual cycle.
The discharge should not be very thick or profuse. But, it should be noted that during the menstrual cycle or during ovulation, the consistency of normal discharge also changes.
There should be no bright yellow traces in the mass.
No discharge remains on the bed linen, including the underwear.
There is no smell.

Apart from this, with a normal slightly yellow tint, no additional symptoms should occur. For example, severe pain or other discomfort in the reproductive organs.

Causes of yellow discharge with odor

It should be noted that this symptom may appear at different times, including during lactation or pregnancy. Peculiar discharges may indicate the presence of various pathologies and diseases.

Diseases:

Detected when chlamydia, in which a rather sharp, not very pleasant odor is noted. They begin to flow down the walls, directly into the vaginal cavity, thereby additionally creating an unpleasant feeling of discomfort, burning, and often itching occurs with this disease.
These signs may occur if the woman's history is trichomoniasis. At the initial stage of the disease, white, slightly yellow discharge is observed. As the disease progresses, the discharge becomes deep yellow, and in rare cases, greenish discharge is also released. In this case, the woman has a rather unpleasant putrid odor.
They may talk about the presence gonorrhea. In this case, the discharge takes on a specific color. In particular, they have a rich yellow hue; they stand out in fairly moderate quantities. In addition, bleeding also occurs with gonorrhea. Additional symptoms include pain, which is acute or aching in nature. Pain occurs in the lower abdomen or on the inner thighs.
At thrush similar discharge with a characteristic odor is also released.
The most common cause of these discharges is the presence ureaplasmosis or talk about the presence of a woman mycoplasmosis. Characteristic signs: a large amount of discharge, pain or burning is additionally associated with such diseases, there is severe redness of the mucous membrane directly in the vaginal cavity at the time of the diagnostic examination.

In addition to these reasons, these discharges also occur against the background. With this disease, the discharge takes on not only a thick consistency, but also a fishy smell. In addition, with bacterial vaginitis, pus or blood may be found in the main discharge.

In addition to the reasons described above, you need to be aware of other problems that cause yellow discharge, but at the same time the woman does not have such an unpleasant odor.

Yellow discharge without odor

You can detect signs of adnexitis or colpitis; a woman often produces these discharges, which do not have an uncharacteristic odor.

Also noted:

May indicate the presence of cervicitis.
An allergic reaction to the mucous membrane, as well as in the area of the reproductive organs.
After undergoing artificial

Often appear at different stages of gestation. Therefore, in order to determine whether they are normal or pathological, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist in time and undergo a comprehensive diagnostic examination.

Why does yellow-green discharge appear?

They may indicate the presence of the diseases described above.

And also there are:

Due to the penetration and active reproduction of fungal microorganisms on the vaginal mucosa.
If a woman has a history of inflammatory diseases in which the urethra is damaged.
In the presence of certain sexually transmitted pathologies, which are transmitted not only sexually, but also through household objects.

Note that if this symptom occurs against the background of an inflammatory process, it is necessary to immediately undergo a course of drug therapy. Otherwise, it can lead to a chronic process or infertility.

Yellow discharge during pregnancy

Often during this period, white or slightly yellow discharge appears. Let's consider the main reasons for their occurrence. Causes:

With an incorrectly selected hygiene product for intimate hygiene.
If you frequently wear synthetic underwear during pregnancy.
Using sanitary pads that are impregnated with fragrances.
Failure to comply with personal hygiene rules.
For diseases that affect the entire genitourinary system. For example: for diseases of the uterus, tubes, as well as for diseases of the bladder or ovaries.
With the penetration of nonspecific pathogens, such as staphylococcus or with the penetration of E. coli.
With clarified or unclear etiology of erosion.
Dysbiosis.

At 6 weeks, slight yellow discharge may also occur, and this is considered normal. But, if there is itching or additional signs, including an unpleasant odor, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to clarify the causes of the disease.

At 8 weeks they may leak in moderate amounts - this is normal, provided, of course, that there are no additional signs. Often during this period of pregnancy, during a routine examination, candidiasis is detected. The main cause of the disease is a decrease in immunity and a change in the pH of the environment in the vagina. Gentle treatment methods are prescribed for thrush.

What to do if you have yellow-brown discharge? If yellow-brown discharge occurs early in pregnancy, this is normal. Since at this moment the embryo begins to attach directly to the endometrium, therefore a small amount of blood and discharge data comes out.

But, at this moment, you still need to consult a doctor. It is necessary to exclude more serious pathologies, for example: detachment of the ovum, frozen pregnancy or spontaneous miscarriage.

In late pregnancy, yellow-brown discharge indicates an abnormal location of the placenta, or when a plug is expelled after 38 weeks, which indicates a harbinger of physiological labor.

Watery yellow discharge during pregnancy can mean both normal and pathological. If there is no smell, pain, burning or other discomfort, this is normal.

Pathology of watery yellow discharge:

Found in genital herpes during pregnancy. In this case, the nature of the discharge is scanty. The main reason for watery discharge with a yellow tint is the formation of vesicles, directly against the background of the inflammatory process in the perineal area.
Bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy. There is an unpleasant odor, pain, itching, burning and impaired urination.
Often these discharges indicate leakage of amniotic fluid. There is a slight sweetish odor.

Additional causes of watery yellow discharge include the presence of a specific, nonspecific bacterial infection in a pregnant woman.

Treatment

Before starting treatment, it is necessary to undergo an examination to identify the exact pathology of the disease. The woman is prescribed a general blood test and a vaginal smear is taken in the gynecological office. If this data is not enough to make a diagnosis, then PCR diagnostics and enzyme immunoassay are prescribed.

Local and antibacterial therapy is prescribed as treatment. Additionally, a course of physiotherapeutic procedures is prescribed to improve blood circulation and normalize the microflora in the vaginal cavity.

If trichomonas vaginitis is detected at the time of diagnostic examination, then doctors prescribe the drug Tinidazole or Clotrimazole. The first drug has an antimicrobial and antiprozoal spectrum of action. The active component of the tablets is able to penetrate into anaerobic microorganisms, thereby inhibiting synthesis and disrupting its DNA.

Clotrimazole is a synthetic antifungal drug. Designed for outdoor use. Do not use if you are individually intolerant to the composition, otherwise there is a risk of side effects.

severe burning sensation in the genital area;
swelling of the mucous membrane;
erythema;
allergic reaction.
peeling of the skin in the area of external organs.

If a fungal infection is detected in a woman, the following medications must be taken.

Prescribed:

Fluconazole, has fairly high activity against fungal cells. The drug suppresses their growth and reproduction.
Tsiskan, is a derivative of Trizol. The drug has a good selective spectrum of action, thereby being able to inhibit the synthesis of sterols.

Can also be used as a treatment for fungal infections Orunit or Pimafucin. Before using the medicine, carefully study the instructions; each drug has its own list of contraindications and side effects.

During menopause, with the gynecological diseases described above, doctors prescribe vaginal tablets that contain estrogen. The drug has proven itself well Ovestin. The active component of the drug is micronized estriol, an analogue of the natural female hormone. If a woman has atrophy of the mucous membrane, then the medicine helps to normalize the epithelium, which is located in the genitourinary tract, thereby quickly eliminating the inflammatory process.

As for infectious diseases, in this case it is necessary to take more aggressive medications.

Prescribed:

Hexicon in the form of candles. The drug has an antiseptic and disinfectant spectrum of action. With its help, the development of harmful microbes is inhibited, thereby causing the death of pathogenic microflora. The course of treatment depends on the severity and type of disease, but usually lasts from 7-10 days. If necessary, the course of therapy is extended to 20 days.
Terzhinan It is a fairly strong drug, as it belongs to the group of antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antifungal agents. You can use Terzhinan for vaginitis, trichomonas vaginosis, dysbiosis, or another type of vaginitis of unknown etiology. The drug is often prescribed as a treatment for chronic recurrent colpitis.

In addition to drug therapy, doctors can also prescribe traditional methods of treatment. Decoctions for douching, tinctures for internal use from chamomile, string, sage and other herbs.

Important! During pregnancy, if even slight discharge is detected, you should not use medications and traditional methods of treatment on your own.

Prevention

Preventive measures will help prevent the development of the disease.

Maintain intimate hygiene.
Give preference to natural underwear.
Change sanitary pads or tampons more often.
Be careful during promiscuous sexual intercourse.
Do not use scented intimate hygiene products.
Eat properly.
Increase immunity.
Contact your doctor promptly. Get examined by a gynecologist every six months.
Do not take medications on your own during menopause to eliminate symptoms.

If yellow discharge with an uncharacteristic odor occurs, you should immediately consult a doctor. Only a comprehensive diagnosis will help determine the type of disease and doctors, based on the data obtained, will prescribe adequate treatment methods.

All women have discharge from the genitals. They do not cause any discomfort, are odorless, and appear transparent, white or yellowish-white. If you notice yellow discharge, this will not necessarily be the cause of any disease. We will try to help you figure this out.

Discharge is considered normal if:

there is no smell;
color white-yellow;
a healthy woman usually secretes 3-6 ml per day (but do not forget that the amount of fluid secreted constantly changes throughout the month, this is all related to hormonal changes in the phases of the menstrual cycle);
their consistency can be either liquid or thick;
The discharge is not accompanied by burning or itching.

But if you notice that the discharge is bright yellow, swelling of the external genital organs, which causes discomfort in the form of itching, burning, or an unpleasant odor, then this is a reason to urgently consult a gynecologist.

Pathological yellow discharge

Discharge with an unpleasant odor, itching and burning

The causes of pathological discharge may be:

Adnexit

Adnexitis is an inflammatory process that can be asymptomatic in the initial stage. According to its course, adnexitis can be unilateral or bilateral. The causes may be:

general hypothermia of the body;
STI infections;
chronic diseases in the acute stage;
abortions,

Features of discharge during adnexitis:

The discharge is mucopurulent. In the acute stage, the discharge is bright yellow and has an unpleasant odor.

Salpingitis

This is the same adnexitis. (see above)

Colpitis

Colpitis is an inflammatory process of the vaginal mucosa. Other names for this disease are vaginitis, vaginosis. There are several forms of colpitis: chronic, acute, subacute. The causes of the disease are:

STI infections;
improper intimate hygiene;
chronic diseases;
damage to the mucous membrane;
obesity;
diabetes;
use of antibiotics;
stress.

Features of discharge during colpitis:

The discharge may be yellow, liquid or foamy, and may be mixed with pus. Such discharge causes itching and burning.

Cervititis

Cervititis is an inflammatory process of the cervix. This disease mainly occurs in women who are constantly sexually active. Many women may not know about this disease. Since its symptoms can be asymptomatic. The disease is transmitted mainly through sexual contact. For infection, staphylococci, mycoplasmas, etc. are enough, all of them are transmitted through blood and lymph.

Features of discharge with cervititis:

The discharge is mucous, cloudy, and may be mixed with pus.

Bacterial vaginitis

Bacterial vaginitis is a disruption of the normal microflora of the vagina. It mainly occurs against the background of decreased immunity, inflammatory diseases, and the use of an intrauterine device. The main reasons are considered:

hormonal disbalance,
taking antibiotics,
frequent douching or washing,
after childbirth,
intestinal dysbiosis.

Features of discharge with bacterial vaginitis:

The discharge is abundant, with a distinct specific odor. (smell of fish). There is itching and burning.

Cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a violation of the integrity of the cervix. There are two types of erosion: true and false. The cause of erosion is considered to be:

STI infections (if sexual intercourse began at an early age),
genital injuries,
menstrual irregularities.

However, there are no symptoms of this disease. This disease is detected only when examined by a gynecologist on a gynecological chair using a gynecological speculum.

Features of discharge during uterine erosion:

They are not observed in all cases, since local pathological changes in its mucosa may not manifest themselves in any way. In various cases, you may experience: red, pink or brown discharge, white discharge, yellow and green discharge.

STI

There may be diseases such as trichomoniasis, chlamydia, etc.

Features of discharge during STIs:

The discharge is yellowish in color with a sharp, specific odor.

Allergic reactions

Allergies can occur to tampons, pads, condoms, underwear, powder and much more.

Features of discharge during allergic reactions:

The discharge may be yellowish in color.

Yellow discharge without odor

There is yellow discharge that has no odor and does not cause discomfort. They have a mucus-like consistency. There is no need to treat such discharge. The reasons for these discharges are:

before the arrival of menstruation;
during pregnancy;
after childbirth;
hormonal changes (adulting, aging);
use of hormonal drugs;
stress.

During pregnancy

During pregnancy, a woman's hormonal background changes dramatically. This is why discharge occurs that the woman usually did not observe.

During pregnancy up to 12 weeks, yellow, thick discharge that is odorless may appear.

At the same time, the woman has neither itching nor burning.

In the second half of pregnancy, the discharge may increase slightly in volume. These discharges also cannot cause any discomfort to the woman.

But if a pregnant woman notices that a sharp unpleasant odor has appeared and the color has turned bright yellow, then this is a reason to urgently contact an obstetrician-gynecologist.

During menopause, hormonal levels change dramatically. Therefore, a woman’s discharge may be different until the body is completely rebuilt.

If a woman observes odorless yellow discharge that does not bother the woman in any way (no itching, burning, irritation), then this is considered normal.

These discharges can occur during the body’s usual onset of menstruation or after it. There may also be yellow discharge in the middle of the cycle.

But if you see yellow-green discharge that has a sharp unpleasant smell (most often of rotten fish), pain, burning, then this is a reason to urgently consult a gynecologist. The causes of such discharge can be both infectious diseases and inflammatory processes.

Yellow discharge after sex

What does yellow discharge after sex indicate? They can say a lot, so you need to pay attention to the exact shade, consistency, volume and, of course, smell. Light shade: more of a natural lubricant that mixes with male and female secretions. Dark yellowish discharge with a foul odor may be a sign of infection. Consistency: viscous and thick, foamy. A yellow secretion may indicate inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system.

When should you contact a gynecologist?

The discharge is yellow in color, not profuse, has no odor, has a uniform consistency and does not cause increased urination, no itching, no burning, discharge that may increase before the onset of menstruation - does not require treatment.

But, if the discharge has become cheesy, has a pungent odor, and if you feel even slight discomfort in the intimate area, then this is a reason to urgently consult a gynecologist.

In order to understand the cause of these discharges and make a correct diagnosis, you need to take a smear.

Diagnosis and treatment

You can diagnose the cause of pathological discharge at an appointment with a gynecologist, who will examine you in a chair and. Based on the results of the smear, the doctor will recognize the cause and prescribe the necessary treatment.

Treatment is divided into topical tablets and general tablets. Antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotics are prescribed. All this depends on the disease. Usually prescribed: Flucostat, Mikomax, Irunin, Pimafucin and others.

Basically, Polygynax is prescribed for fungal or bacterial diseases.

For vaginosis or to restore normal vaginal microflora, Lactagel is prescribed.

Douching or baths are also prescribed in the complex.

Prescribe medications to support and restore immunity.

How to prevent relapse of the disease? The importance of rehabilitation

Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Measures to prevent yellow discharge:

proper intimate hygiene;
healthy lifestyle;
protected sexual intercourse;
When taking antibiotics, it is imperative to prevent vaginal dysbiosis.

During treatment, you should completely abstain from sexual activity. Take all medications prescribed by your doctor and carry out all procedures. Lead a healthy lifestyle and eat a properly balanced diet.

After treatment, you must take a second test (smear). And then, for two weeks, take vitamins and medications to support the immune system.

Both partners need to be treated. If you have a regular sexual partner, then he should contact an andrologist for testing.

All this will help you avoid relapse (recurrence) of the disease.

Treatment at home: traditional methods

Do not forget that treatment at home or traditional medicine gives the effect of additional treatment to the main one prescribed by the doctor.

Proper nutrition

Initially, what is needed is to restore proper balanced nutrition. You should completely exclude from your diet:

sesame,
seeds,
fried,
spicy,
salty,
bold
conservation.

The diet should include as many fresh fruits, vegetables (carrots, parsley, celery and much more), berries, and juices as possible.

Intimate hygiene

Proper intimate hygiene is the key to healthy genital organs. To do this, it is necessary to properly care for the external genitalia. It is necessary to wash yourself at least twice a day using intimate products.

Baths using pine or pine extract

To do this, you need to take 3 liters of water and add 150 ml of pine or pine needle extract. Boil the resulting solution for 40 minutes, cool. This type of bath is used before bed once a day for a week.

Douching is carried out using:

Blueberry leaves
To prepare, you need 1 tablespoon of leaves per glass of water. Boil all this for 15 minutes, strain and douche before going to bed.

St. John's wort
Preparation: 3 tbsp. St. John's wort, 2 l. water. Boil for 30 minutes, strain and syringe 2-3 times a day.

Oak bark
Preparation: 1 tbsp. herbs for 1 liter. water, cook for 20 minutes. Douche 2-3 times a day.

Decoctions

You can also use decoctions for oral administration. Here is one of the recipes.

Immortal sandstone flowers. Preparation: 1 tbsp. l. flowers per 200 ml of water, boil everything for 10-15 minutes. Then you need to leave for 30 minutes. Take 50 ml before meals - once a day.

An odorless, yellowish discharge is a common phenomenon that many women experience. Those who are concerned about these symptoms are concerned about the following question: are such discharges dangerous and what to do to get rid of them? Experts say that most often this phenomenon does not pose any threat to a woman’s health. Yellow streaks (leukorrhea) are normal unless accompanied by any unpleasant odor.

What kind of leucorrhoea can be considered normal?

If the amount of yellow consistency does not exceed 1 spoon per day, then this can be considered normal. This indicator can sometimes increase slightly before menstruation and after sexual intercourse.

It is important to pay attention to the color of the leucorrhoea. The norm is considered to be light, which does not leave bright marks on the laundry, and the strokes can also have a creamy tint. In addition, you need to look at the consistency of the discharge. Do not worry if the mucus is not thick and abundant. It should be noted that the consistency of the discharge may change in the middle of the cycle. During this period, it may become transparent and stretchy.

Within a few hours after unprotected sex with ejaculation, leucorrhoea may appear in the vagina in the form of clots. This phenomenon is also considered normal.

Leucorrhoea can also appear during pregnancy. In this case, hormones are to blame. The largest amount of yellow discharge occurs in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Expectant mothers should be careful, because if there are significantly more of them in the 2nd trimester, this may indicate the development of a pathological process.

For 10 days after artificial termination of pregnancy, women experience brown discharge. However, if a yellowish-brown consistency begins to stand out, this may indicate the presence of polyps in the uterine cavity. There is nothing wrong with such benign neoplasms: they cannot cause serious disorders in a woman’s body. Such discharge can cause mild pain in the lower abdomen, which intensifies after sexual intercourse.

Pathological processes causing leucorrhoea

Yellow discharge may indicate the presence of any serious problems with the woman’s body. For example, this phenomenon often occurs due to sexually transmitted infections. Most often, women complain of trichomoniasis. This disease is characterized by foamy yellow-green discharge. In addition, patients complain of severe burning and itching in the genital area.

Yellow discharge with a sour odor and a cheesy consistency is a symptom of the development of candidiasis (thrush). The disease can manifest itself against the background of hormonal fluctuations, stressful situations, pregnancy, weakened immunity, etc.

Gonorrhea is considered a more serious illness. Patients with this disease experience bright yellow purulent discharge. However, in this case, the mucus is accompanied by an unpleasant odor. At the first symptoms of gonorrhea, you should immediately consult a specialist.

Adnexitis, which is characterized by discharge in the form of yellow pus, can cause unpleasant symptoms. In the chronic form of adnexitis, a thin consistency is released from the vagina, and an irritable process is observed in the genital area. In addition, patients complain of frequent urination, pain during sex and a painful menstrual cycle. Almost the same symptoms are characteristic of a disease such as salpingitis. However, in this case, yellow-bloody discharge may appear after sexual intercourse. Such patients often complain of constant bloating and lack of appetite.

Bacterial vaginitis is another common cause of leucorrhoea that affects the vaginal mucosa. In addition to the yellow mucus that is released from the vagina, bacterial vaginitis causes itching and swelling of the genitals.

Various allergies can also cause yellow discharge. Most often, unpleasant symptoms appear due to wearing synthetic underwear, using pads, condoms and tampons. Girls who experience this phenomenon complain of irritation of the external genitalia and.

And these are not all the ailments that can cause the above symptoms. For example, after examining a patient, doctors often diagnose colpitis.

In this case, leucorrhoea is accompanied by severe swelling of the external genitalia. Patients complain of constant pain in the back and lower abdomen. Unpleasant sensations also appear during sexual intercourse.

And, of course, one cannot help but note the fact that such mucus often appears during cervical erosion. With this disease, the discharge is usually light and can mix with blood after sexual intercourse.

What should you do if such discharge appears?

If a yellow spot on your underwear does not cause any unpleasant symptoms (itching, burning, bad smell), then most likely there is no need to worry. It is enough to follow a few rules. Girls should never forget about personal hygiene. You need to wash yourself every day. You should not wash your genitals with regular soap. The thing is that the components that make up simple soap can change the normal microflora of the vagina. This can lead to the development of dangerous infections. Currently, in stores you can purchase special cosmetics designed specifically for genital hygiene.

Experts recommend wearing underwear only made from natural fabrics. It is better to abandon synthetics once and for all. Cotton underwear is very popular: it is not only very comfortable, but also does not lead to allergic reactions.

Women should also take barrier precautions during sex. Many people are allergic to condoms. In this case, it is better to protect yourself with oral contraceptives.

The hygiene products used must be of good quality only. Pads and tampons should be changed every 1-3 hours.

If leucorrhoea is accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, then you should definitely consult a doctor to find out the cause of this phenomenon.

You need to understand: the sooner treatment begins, the greater the chance that it will be successful and in the shortest possible period of time.

The treatment process is complicated by the fact that the vaginal ecosystem is quite complex, so it should never be disturbed by harsh treatment. If you choose the wrong treatment, then after a short period of time the feeling of discomfort may return and a yellow spot will appear on your underwear again.

Currently, doctors are fighting various secretions with the help of modern, highly effective drugs that are gentle on the vaginal flora. Today, a drug such as Polygynax is very popular. This product has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Polygynax is ideal for the treatment of almost all infectious diseases. Also, this remedy can be used to prevent the same infectious diseases.

If trichomonas has been diagnosed, then in this case you can get rid of leucorrhoea with the help of tinidazole and metronidazole. For trichomonas, both sexual partners should be treated.

The variety of factors that provoke yellow discharge in women complicates the diagnosis and elimination of pathologies. There is no need to self-medicate. Only on the basis of laboratory tests and medical diagnostics can the correct treatment be prescribed based on the clinical picture of the disease.

A woman's body is truly unique and complex. But it has hidden threats. What is meant. Any infection that gets inside is not able to immediately manifest itself externally. Only after some time do signs of a particular disease begin. But if you study this problem in more detail, then with careful observation of your body and some seemingly insignificant signs, you can accurately determine the onset of the disease. In women, it is worth taking a closer look at the excretory system. And not only to the outflow of urine, but also to others. Every female person has vaginal discharge. They will mean a certain disease or inflammatory process. Many have encountered thrush and know all its manifestations: itching, burning. And if a woman has yellow discharge, should this be considered the beginning of a pathological process?

Yellow discharge is thick or not very thick, cheesy or abundant, watery or scanty. They can be anything. Accordingly, the reasons will differ. In cases where they are accompanied by a strong odor or have an admixture (streaks) of blood, then help is needed immediately. This process indicates a serious problem within. If you don’t feel the smell, and the quantity is not plentiful, then should you worry?

There may be several reasons for the appearance of yellow discharge

For the appearance of yellow discharge in women, the reasons are as follows:

cause	definition	consequences
vaginosis	The disease is infectious, but does not have an inflammatory process. Changes occur in the vaginal microflora. Protection of internal organs is reduced to a minimum level. Due to illness, any infection and microbes can get inside without any problems. Has a smell. Moreover, everyone notices it differently. It could be a fishy or onion smell. Often the smell is present on things, but after changing clothes it disappears	During pregnancy, there is a risk of miscarriage or a difficult birth process. In a normal state, complications are in the nature of infertility and inability to bear a child. Miscarriages occur in the first trimester
colpitis	Yellow discharge with an odor in women and an inflammatory process. The lesion occurs on the mucous membrane. To start the disease, there are pathogens: candidiasis and staphylococcus. Appears at any age. Even in childhood or already during menopause.	Inflammation destroys the mucous membrane. The occurrence of swelling of the genital organs (including lips)
Salpingitis and adnexitis	Both diseases are a positive reaction to the onset of the inflammatory process. Only in different places: salpingitis - one or both tubes are affected, adnexitis - the ovaries. They arise either simultaneously or one after another. The consistency is thick, plentiful. Yellowish, copious discharge is alarming and forces you to visit a specialist	Problems with urination. passes to neighboring organs. Cystitis occurs with any of them. Treatment is carried out comprehensively. You can only relieve the inflammatory process of the bladder on your own

At first, yellow, odorless discharge does not frighten a woman much. Everything is taken for granted. They find many excuses, but after a while they:

acquire a thick consistency;
the amount secreted increases;
color varies from yellow to greenish;
the smell is strong and unpleasant.

All of the above symptoms are pointers not so much to inflammation as to the infectious origin of the problem, which is sexually transmitted. It could be:

Ureaplasmosis

Ureaplasmosis can cause yellow discharge

Infection occurs in several ways:

sexual intercourse;
through a kiss (sexual);
during the birth of a child from the mother;
household means (towel, soap, swimming pool, bath, etc.).

Chlamydia infection

Yellow discharge caused by chlamydia. They take on the appearance of flakes. May contain clots of pus that are clearly visible. Strong and pungent odor.

Chlamydia can be contracted by constantly changing sexual partners.

A widespread species among young people who practice diversity of partners. The only route of infection is sexual. In 40 cases out of a hundred it is hidden.

Gonorrhea

Yellow discharge with a venereal odor. Irritation of the mucous membranes occurs. Affects the urethra, uterus, and gastrointestinal tract. If it gets into the eyes, it causes the development of conjunctivitis. In addition to the discharge, there is severe pain during urination. Some people confuse it with cystitis or other inflammations of the genitourinary system and begin treatment on their own, which complicates the recovery process. An itching and burning sensation often occurs in the anus, all of which is accompanied by the secretion of a yellow liquid.

Gonorrhea in women

A woman's discharge, which is yellowish in color and smells, often occurs after an abortion. This may mean that the cleaning process did not go well and germ elements remain inside. Only a doctor can determine the location. The inflammatory process can be located not only in the uterus, but also in the tubes. If blood clots or streaks appear, contact a specialist immediately. This is not a joke; cancer and other neoplasms have the same symptoms.

Yellow, odorless discharge in a woman is not always evidence of the onset of pathology. The mucous membranes of the vagina and cervix have a layer of natural mucus or microflora. Everyone has theirs. Every female has it. It changes with age and hormonal changes. Accordingly, such changes cannot but be reflected externally. Therefore, quite often, yellowish discharge on underwear, odorless and itchy, means precisely the process of changing the microflora. They also occur when there is an excess of hormones received with food, as well as before menstruation.

To avoid any questions about why a woman’s yellow discharge is odorless and the reason for its appearance, it is necessary to regularly monitor the hygiene of the genital organs. In addition, you should choose underwear carefully:

so as not to squeeze the body;
only from natural fabrics;
always ironed in the part where it will come into contact with the genitals.

Any pathogen that gets on the mucous membrane gives unexpected reactions. It is not always possible to predict at what stage the body’s protective functions. The immune system can be weakened or compromised by frequent use of medications. This factor also greatly affects the microflora of a healthy woman.

It is necessary to take tests for research

Yellow discharge in women should be examined in a laboratory. To do this, smears are always taken during an examination in a gynecological chair. Self-treatment only leads to and often leads to infertility or surgery. A disease such as polycystic disease occurs in 50 percent precisely because of changes in the vaginal microflora. Failure to go to the hospital in a timely manner leads to a surgical solution to the problem.

Need to know! Any pathological process in the pelvic organs makes itself felt through secretions. Everyone has their own period of occurrence. If the problem is a sexually transmitted disease, then the first symptoms can be observed more quickly in men. In females, they are asymptomatic for a long time.

Odorless yellow discharge in women has two options for the development of events: urgent treatment or the normal state of the body. How to recognize this? The most convenient and easiest way is to contact a specialist. Get an immediate answer to all infections and fungal diseases on the mucous membranes. In addition, all problems with internal organs will be clarified. But if there is no time, and the character is such that they are not bothered at all, the color is pale yellow, then this can be called the norm. Also, odorless yellow discharge three to two days before the onset of menstruation should not cause concern.

Don't panic, it's better to consult a gynecologist

No one needs unnecessary panic and monthly trips to the gynecologist. Inflammatory processes can be noticed immediately if a female person takes care of herself and her hygiene. White-yellow discharge in women, for example, will never indicate problems. When changing color, you already need to think about it and take control of everything. What indicates inflammation:

increase in fluid volumes;
color changes;
the presence of clots or flakes;
irritation on mucous membranes;
swelling of the labia;
discomfort during urination.

If yellow discharge and itching appear at the same time, then you should not wait. We must act urgently. Regular mucus, which is normal, does not cause any discomfort. Only an increase in secretion can cause concern. But the absence of odor, burning and itching are already positive aspects.

To ensure that the discharge is always normal and does not give rise to a reason to seek help, several rules should be followed. The first is to always perform hygiene procedures. Experts recommend regularly using laundry soap without additives or dyes. Regular cheap brown soap destroys all pathogenic microorganisms. Unfortunately, it is not able to eradicate sexually transmitted diseases. Only doctors and a long course of treatment help here.

The second thing that the fair sex should take into account is that lace or shapewear is, of course, very beautiful. But it is better to save it for intimacy. On weekdays, you should remember that natural fabric always allows the skin to breathe and, accordingly, does not allow dangerous microbes to develop. Third, every intimate relationship with a new partner must take place in compliance with safety measures and contraceptives. At the same time, ensure comfortable conditions and clean bed linen.

Fourth. All things should not only be well washed, but also ironed. At the same time, never wear someone else’s clothes. If you need to try on clothes that come into contact with your genitals, be well prepared. Use sanitary pads on this day. After purchase, everything is washed and ironed.

Slight white or light yellow discharge in women during the intermenstrual period is considered normal, unless there are other signs (pain, pain during urination, redness of the mucous membrane). Leucorrhoea cleanses the genital tract of dead epithelium and microorganisms and maintains normal vaginal microbiocenosis. But a change in the color of natural discharge can indicate various disorders in the body, including infectious and inflammatory processes and sexually transmitted diseases.

Types of yellow discharge

Light without odor or with it. Moderate, slightly yellow discharge in women, not accompanied by redness of the vulva, itching and burning, can be considered normal. Intermenstrual leucorrhoea is actually light in color, but on a panty liner it has a slightly yellowish tint. Light, odorless yellow discharge in women increases slightly in the middle of the cycle (during ovulation) and a few days before menstruation. During this period, it is necessary to carefully monitor the quality of personal hygiene and use thin diaries.

Abundant with or without unpleasant odor. Such discharge indicates the development of an inflammatory process in the organs of the reproductive system. A woman may complain of burning, itching in the vulva and other unpleasant symptoms. The discharge may have a strong odor and a yellowish-green color.

Possible causes of heavy yellow discharge

Vaginosis. The disease usually occurs in women of reproductive age. The disease is based on a non-inflammatory process, in which the number of lactoflora representatives decreases and the number of anaerobic microorganisms increases. Vaginosis can occur with virtually no symptoms. A characteristic symptom is an unpleasant yellow vaginal discharge with a fishy odor.

Colpitis. The basis of the disease is inflammation of the vaginal walls with the appearance of itching, burning, signs of an acute inflammatory process, which can spread to the uterus and appendages, causing reproductive disorders. A symptom of colpitis is white or yellow vaginal discharge with a rather unpleasant odor.

Inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The inflammatory process in the appendages can occur as a result of urogenital infections and hypothermia. Inflammation of the tubes and ovaries is accompanied by intense pain in the lumbar and lower abdomen, and the appearance of yellow vaginal discharge. Breakthrough uterine bleeding is possible.

Venereal diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases pose a serious threat to women's health. They often lead to inflammation of the appendages, the formation of adhesions and the development of infertility. Sexually transmitted diseases are accompanied by pathological yellow discharge with an odor, severe swelling of the vulva, painful urination, itching and burning in the perineum and genitals.

What to do if yellow discharge appears

Abundant white-yellow and yellow discharge with or without odor is a reason to contact a gynecologist or venereologist. Regardless of the diagnosis (thrush, ovarian inflammation, etc.) and the prescribed treatment, a woman should pay special attention to intimate hygiene.
