    Yellowish-green leucorrhea without odor may be related to vaginal flora imbalance, trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other causes, which can be improved by adjusting living habits, drug treatment, etc.

    1. Vaginal flora imbalance

    Vaginal flora imbalance may lead to abnormal color but no odor of leucorrhea, which is usually related to frequent vaginal douching, abuse of antibiotics and other factors. It manifests as an increase in the amount of leucorrhea, a change in color, and may be accompanied by mild vulvar itching. You can adjust the balance of the flora by stopping irritating lotions and supplementing with probiotics. If necessary, follow the doctor's instructions and use microecological preparations such as Lactobacillus vaginal capsules and Dingjunsheng vaginal Lactobacillus live bacteria capsules.

    2. Trichomonal vaginitis

    Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection. The typical symptom is yellow-green foamy leucorrhea, but some patients may have no obvious odor. It is often accompanied by burning sensation in the vulva and pain during sexual intercourse. Anti-trichomoniasis drugs such as metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets and tinidazole suppositories need to be used as directed by the doctor, and sexual partners need to be treated simultaneously.

    3. Bacterial vaginosis

    Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the excessive reproduction of anaerobic bacteria in the vagina. Yellow-green leucorrhea may appear, and some patients have no obvious odor. It is mostly related to factors such as frequent sexual intercourse and multiple sexual partners. Treatment options include clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream, metronidazole gel and other topical medications. In severe cases, oral antibiotics are required.

    4. Cervicitis

    Chronic cervicitis may cause the color of leucorrhea to change without obvious odor, and is often caused by pathogenic infections such as mycoplasma and chlamydia. It may manifest as thick leucorrhea and bleeding after sexual intercourse. Treatment requires the selection of drugs based on the pathogen, such as azithromycin dispersible tablets, doxycycline tablets, etc., and local treatment with proprietary Chinese medicines such as Baofukang suppository.

    5. Pelvic inflammatory disease

    In the early stage of pelvic inflammatory disease, the only symptoms are abnormal color of leucorrhea, accompanied by dull pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral soreness. A clear diagnosis needs to be made through gynecological examination, ultrasound, etc. Treatment is mainly antibiotics, such as cefixime capsules combined with ornidazole capsules. Severe cases require hospitalization for intravenous medication.

    It is recommended to wash the vulva with warm water every day and avoid using alkaline lotions. Choose cotton underwear and change them daily and avoid tight pants. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited and a regular schedule is maintained. If symptoms last for more than 1 week or abdominal pain, fever, etc. occur, you need to seek medical attention promptly to perform routine leucorrhea examination, cervical secretion examination, etc. to determine the cause. In your diet, you can consume yogurt and other probiotic-containing foods in moderation, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
