Yellow secretions on a woman's underwear may be urine stains, abnormal vaginal discharge, or symptoms of cervicitis.
Although women usually wipe themselves with tissues after urinating, there may still be some residue left on the underwear. Don't worry, just remember to change and wash your underwear regularly. If there is a bacterial infection in the genital area, it may also lead to abnormal vaginal discharge, and some may appear yellow.
1. Urine stains: Although many women use tissues to wipe after urinating, it is still impossible to avoid some residue left on the underwear. As the number of urination increases throughout the day, these yellow secretions accumulate. If the cleaning method is incorrect, it is easy to deepen the yellow stains and make them difficult to remove. Over time, the underwear may become yellow and stiff.
2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: In addition to menstruation, vaginal discharge is also a "barometer" of women's health. Women secrete vaginal discharge every month, which is usually white and transparent without any odor. If personal hygiene is not taken seriously, it can easily lead to bacterial infections in the genital area, resulting in abnormal vaginal discharge, such as yellow discharge. If this phenomenon persists for a long time and is accompanied by a severe odor, it is likely to be fungal vaginitis. In this case, you should pay attention and promptly go to the hospital for a vaginal discharge examination to determine the specific cause.
3. Signs of cervicitis: If there are always yellow secretions on the underwear, with a thick consistency and some traces of blood, it is likely that there is some abnormality in the cervix. Generally, when such symptoms appear, they should be taken seriously. Ignoring them can easily worsen the condition and eventually lead to cervicitis.
