If the color of the vaginal discharge turns yellow and there is also a foul odor, it indicates abnormal vaginal discharge. Abnormal vaginal discharge may indicate vaginitis or cervicitis. What's the reason why the vaginal discharge is particularly yellow and sticky?
If the vaginal discharge is particularly yellow and sticky, there is a higher possibility of vaginal or chronic cervicitis. If this situation occurs, one should go to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge examination and gynecological examination, and receive targeted treatment.
The composition of vaginal discharge is quite complex, including water, cervical mucus, vaginal and fallopian tube exudate, shed cells, etc. Normally, vaginal discharge is transparent, light yellow, and odorless.
