What color is cervical erosion and leucorrhea?

The leucorrhea of ​​cervical erosion is usually white or light yellow, and may be accompanied by bloodshot or purulent secretions. Cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon caused by the outward migration of cervical columnar epithelium. However, abnormal secretions may occur if combined with infection. The main influencing factors include bacterial vaginitis, cervicitis, trichomonal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, cervical polyps, etc.

1. Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis may cause vaginal discharge that is off-white or gray-yellow and has a fishy odor. When cervical erosion is combined with bacterial infection, the discharge may be increased and thin in texture. For treatment, you can use metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel or tinidazole suppositories as directed by your doctor. At the same time, you need to keep the perineum clean and avoid frequent vaginal flushing.

2. Cervicitis

Leucorrhea caused by cervicitis is often yellow and purulent, and may be bloodshot in severe cases. Contact bleeding may occur when cervical erosion is combined with inflammation. Treatment requires selecting drugs based on the pathogen, such as azithromycin dispersible tablets, doxycycline tablets or Baofukang suppositories. Sexual life needs to be prohibited during the acute phase.

3. Trichomonal vaginitis

When infected with Trichomonas, the leucorrhea appears as a yellow-green foam with an obvious odor. Patients with cervical erosion and trichomonas infection may experience vulvar pruritus. Tinidazole vaginal suppository, ornidazole capsules or sophora flavescens gel can be used as directed by the doctor. Sexual partners need to be treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection.

4. Fungal vaginitis

The leucorrhea of ​​fungal vaginitis is white curd-like or tofu-like, and the vulva is obviously burning. When cervical erosion is combined with fungal infection, secretions may adhere to the surface of the cervix. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories, or nystatin vaginal effervescent tablets can be used for treatment. Avoid ingesting high-sugar foods during treatment.

5. Cervical polyps

Cervical polyps may cause leucorrhea mixed with blood or brown discharge, especially after sexual intercourse. Cervical erosion combined with polyps needs to be diagnosed through gynecological examination. Smaller polyps can be controlled with drugs such as Xiaomi Suppository and Antimetritis Tablets. Larger polyps require polypectomy.

Patients with cervical erosion should choose cotton underwear and change it daily, and avoid using sanitary products containing fragrance. Reduce the intake of spicy and stimulating foods in the diet, and supplement vitamin B and probiotics appropriately. It is recommended to perform cervical TCT and HPV screening every 6-12 months. If there is an abnormal increase in secretions, color change or odor, seek medical advice promptly. It is forbidden to use vaginal douches or antibiotics by yourself. Kegel exercises can be performed daily to enhance pelvic floor muscle function, but exercises need to be suspended during acute inflammation.
