Why Is My Vaginal Discharge Yellow and My Menstrual Cycle Delayed?

Yellow leukorrhea and delayed menstruation are usually associated with conditions such as early pregnancy, vaginitis, cervicitis, and other diseases, requiring a vaginal examination at the hospital.

1. Early Pregnancy: Due to hormonal changes in the body, especially a stronger progesterone level, it can lead to more vaginal exfoliated cells, resulting in yellow, sticky leukorrhea and delayed menstruation. Be vigilant about the possibility of early pregnancy.

2. Vaginitis: Mixed vaginitis may be caused by a combination of Trichomonas, bacteria, or Candida albicans infections. It can easily lead to yellow leukorrhea accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, tingling, pain, dyspareunia, and dysuria, as well as delayed menstruation.

3. Cervicitis: Cervicitis can also cause yellow leukorrhea and delayed menstruation. Additionally, there may be watery leukorrhea with a fishy odor, and a significant increase in the amount of leukorrhea. Other potential causes include fallopian tube cancer, cervical cancer, and uterine fibroids.

Before going to bed each night, clean the genital area with clean water. Regularly consume foods that clear heat and remove dampness, such as winter melon seeds, coix seeds, Chinese yam, red dates, and lotus seeds.
