What should I do if there is yellow discharge in my genital area? Genital area generally refers to the reproductive organs. Yellow discharge in the reproductive organs may be caused by oxidation, cervicitis, balanitis, and other factors.
1. Oxidized discharge: Normally, women have vaginal discharge, and men have discharge from the glans penis. After being exposed to air, these discharges can undergo oxidation and turn light yellow, leading to the aforementioned symptoms. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally requires no special treatment.
2. Cervicitis: Infection of the cervix by Mycoplasma, Chlamydia trachomatis, or Neisseria gonorrhoeae can cause significant inflammatory reactions, resulting in the aforementioned symptoms. In such cases, patients can use medications such as Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules, Erythromycin Tablets, and Clarithromycin Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Balanitis: Balanitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the foreskin and glans penis, mainly caused by pathogen infection. Patients may experience yellow fluid leakage from the glans penis, accompanied by symptoms such as swelling, itchiness, and pain of the foreskin and glans penis. In such cases, patients can follow doctors' advice and take medications like Amoxicillin Capsules, Cefdinir Dispersible Tablets, and Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets.
Other causes such as gonococcal urethritis may also lead to the aforementioned situation. Patients need to promptly visit the hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
