I believe many female friends have such troubles, with a lot of yellow secretions on their panties, accompanied by a foul odor. When this phenomenon occurs, it must be taken seriously, as it may indicate inflammation of the female reproductive system. So if female friends want to determine if they have gynecological inflammation, they can observe the signs on their underwear to judge.
So what signs on the underwear indicate that there is a problem with the reproductive system and a gynecological disease?
1. Blood streaks in underwear.
The blood in the underwear is caused by irregular vaginal bleeding symptoms, which can be physiological or pathological. Some women experience slight bleeding during ovulation, which is a physiological bleeding. However, some have long-term irregular vaginal bleeding, accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, which should be taken seriously as it may be caused by acute vaginitis and cervical polyps and other gynecological inflammations.
2. Unpleasant odor in underwear.
A healthy vagina normally does not have a foul odor, and vaginal discharge is clear. If there is an unpleasant odor in the underwear, mainly due to foul-smelling discharge, the amount of discharge also increases significantly, accompanied by white foam and a sour vinegar smell. There may also be redness and burning in the vulva, frequent urination, and other symptoms. When these symptoms occur, it may indicate bacterial vaginosis.
3. Yellowish color in underwear.
When the underwear appears yellow, there may be curd-like and cottage cheese-like discharge with itching in the external genitalia, making one want to scratch all the time. In fact, this is caused by a common fungal infection known as yeast vaginitis. The main symptom of this disease is a white or curd-like chunky discharge, which is easier to diagnose as the discharge in yeast vaginitis is usually thick and yellow.
So how should female friends choose their underwear? What are the considerations in this regard?
Female friends should wear loose and comfortable 100% cotton underwear, avoiding tight underwear or dark-colored ones made of synthetic fibers. Many women experience vaginal itching and foul-smelling discharge due to tight and non-breathable underwear, so it’s advisable to choose quality cotton underwear that meets standards.
When washing underwear, adopt healthy hygiene methods, avoid washing socks and underwear together, and dry them in sunlight after washing to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Female friends should regularly observe the condition of their underwear. If there is an odor, yellowish discoloration, or blood streaks, it may indicate a serious gynecological disease, and they should promptly seek medical diagnosis and treatment to minimize harm to their bodies.
