What should I do if my vaginal discharge is yellow and my vulva is itchy and painful?

Yellow vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, and sexual pain can be caused by bacterial vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., which can be treated with local medications, oral medications, etc.

1. Bacterial vaginitis: The cause of bacterial vaginitis is usually related to excessive vaginal washing and frequent sexual intercourse, which leads to vaginal flora disorder and inflammatory response, and also leads to increased vaginal secretions. The secretions irritate the vulva and cause itching and burning sensations. Symptoms will also worsen after sexual intercourse. Clindamycin phosphate suppositories, metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole suppositories and other drugs need to be treated according to the doctor's advice to help the recovery of the disease.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis: The cause of trichomonas vaginitis is vaginal infection with Trichomonas. Excessive inflammation and stimulation will cause grayish yellow or yellowish white purulent leucorrhea, as well as itching, pain and other symptoms. Under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, tinidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, and matrine suppositories can inhibit the reproduction of Trichomonas vaginalis.

3. Cervicitis: Cervicitis may be related to pathogen infection, mechanical stimulation, etc. After the disease occurs, the cervix will become congested and swollen, and it will also cause symptoms such as abnormal secretions and vulvar itching. During sexual intercourse, it will cause pain due to stimulation of the cervix. You can take antibiotics such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, metronidazole tablets, and roxithromycin capsules according to the doctor's advice to achieve anti-infection effects.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, so you should actively seek medical treatment. During the illness, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and refrain from sexual intercourse for a short period of time.
