Abnormal colored vaginal discharge in women should first be considered as a possible manifestation of gynecological diseases. Moreover, abnormal changes in the color of vaginal discharge are often accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, but the specific cause still needs to be examined before a clear diagnosis can be made. So, what exactly happened when vaginal discharge turned yellow green?
1. Normal vaginal discharge in women should have no odor or a slight fishy smell, and the color should be milky white, transparent, or watery. If the abnormal changes in vaginal discharge appear yellow green, it is mainly caused by vaginal inflammation. The more common types of vaginitis include candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, and so on.
2. Women with yellow green vaginal discharge are more likely to have trichomonas vaginitis. This kind of inflammation is caused by the infection of Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes the leucorrhea secreted by the cervix and vagina to be yellow green, with a foul smell, thin and foam like. And there are often severe itching and burning symptoms in the genital area.
3. Women with bacterial vaginitis not only have a foul odor, but also form yellow green vaginal discharge due to the presence of inflammatory substances in their secretions. In severe cases, it may also be accompanied by local itching and even swelling, pain, and discomfort. However, regardless of the type of vaginitis, it must be diagnosed through vaginal discharge testing before targeted treatment can be given. Therefore, women with abnormal vaginal discharge symptoms must seek medical examination in a timely manner.
