Marks on your underwear can be embarrassing when changing into sports or work clothes. They can form for many reasons. Unpleasant yellow stains are surprisingly difficult to remove from underwear.
Quite often, such stains are traces that were not washed off from the previous wash. This is especially true for women's clothing; you can wash off yellow stains on panties made from delicate fabric without ruining them.
We will tell you how to wash underwear, what is more important is the quality of washing or maintaining the appearance of the item.
Why do faded spots appear on my underwear?
Have you ever noticed a stain on your colored panties (especially if they're black) that looks like it's been bleached out?
If the answer is yes, then keep in mind that vaginal discharge is to blame. The fact is that the normal vagina has a pH level somewhere between 3.8 and 4.5, which makes its environment acidic enough to change the color of the fabric of your panties. Some girls, when they see such a faded bleached stain on their underwear, immediately they begin to panic and think that some terrible illness has happened to them, but in fact this is absolutely normal. Discharge can change the color of panties, and it all depends on the natural pH level in the vagina.
The pH level is a marker of how acidic or alkaline a substance or environment is. If something has a pH level below 7.0, then it is acidic.
As noted above, a healthy vagina has a pH value somewhere between 3.8 and 4.5. This may seem like an incredibly acidic environment, but rest assured it's for your own good. Lactobacilli, which are beneficial for women's health, maintain the pH of the vagina at a level that protects the genitals from unpleasant infections such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis.
If the natural acidity level of the vagina is disrupted, this makes the female body more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections.
The amount of vaginal discharge varies from woman to woman. In addition, in the same woman, discharge may change consistency and color depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle and/or health status.
For example, shortly before the onset of menstruation, the discharge becomes more viscous and dense. But during the period of ovulation, on the contrary, they are more liquid, watery, and can resemble the consistency of egg white.
Discharge is nothing more than a natural way of self-cleaning the vagina.
For most women, clear or white vaginal discharge is normal. Normally, they do not have a pronounced odor or color, and the only discomfort a woman can feel is only due to the increased humidity on her underwear.
If you notice that the discharge has changed in color or structure, then visit your gynecologist for a consultation.
There are many reasons why a change in vaginal discharge may occur, but it is usually a sign of infection.
Never use scented shower gels or cosmetic soaps to clean your intimate parts. They can disrupt the healthy balance of bacteria and the acidic environment of the vagina, causing irritation and a burning sensation.
The infection is often caused when the natural balance of bacteria or yeast in the vagina is disrupted, such as when a woman cleans herself incorrectly by finger-washing the inside of the vagina (which is not the right thing to do). Also, the cause of abnormal discharge may be a sexually transmitted infection.
The most common causes of vaginal discharge are thrush, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia or genital herpes. Warning signs of infection include: a change in the color or consistency of the discharge, a sudden foul odor, an unusually large amount of discharge, itching of the vulva, pain in the lower abdomen, and unexpected (not during menstruation) vaginal bleeding.

In the washing machine
In order to get rid of dirt, it is sometimes possible to wash underwear in a washing machine.
- Make sure the items are actually machine washable. The tag will indicate what mode to wash such items on, usually these are delicate or hand wash modes. Pay attention to the presence of glued decorations (sparkles, stones) on the product; if there are any, machine cleaning is prohibited.
- Sort your panties by color and texture.
- Before washing your panties in the washing machine, add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the water.
- When washing in a machine, be sure to use fabric softener.
- Turn off the spin and dry mode.
Types of yellow discharge
Light, odorless or with it . Moderate, slightly yellow discharge in women, not accompanied by redness of the vulva, itching and burning, can be considered normal. Intermenstrual leucorrhoea is actually light in color, but on a panty liner it has a slightly yellowish tint. Light, odorless yellow discharge in women increases slightly in the middle of the cycle (during ovulation) and a few days before menstruation. During this period, it is necessary to carefully monitor the quality of personal hygiene and use thin diaries.
Abundant with or without unpleasant odor . Such discharge indicates the development of an inflammatory process in the organs of the reproductive system. A woman may complain of burning, itching in the vulva and other unpleasant symptoms. The discharge may have a strong odor and a yellowish-green color.
Laundry soap
This is an old method, familiar to each of us since childhood. It doesn't smell very nice, but it copes well with complex tasks. Made from natural ingredients, it is perfect for washing baby clothes.
First, things must be rinsed thoroughly with warm water. Then thoroughly soap the contaminated areas. The deeper the alkali penetrates into the fibers, the faster it will remove stains. It is better to soak the laundry in the evening so that it can stand in the soapy solution until the morning. After this, the items must be washed and rinsed off with all the soap.
Possible causes of heavy yellow discharge
Vaginosis . The disease usually occurs in women of reproductive age. The disease is based on a non-inflammatory process, in which the number of lactoflora representatives decreases and the number of anaerobic microorganisms increases. Vaginosis can occur with virtually no symptoms. A characteristic symptom is an unpleasant yellow vaginal discharge with a fishy odor.
Colpitis . The basis of the disease is inflammation of the vaginal walls with the appearance of itching, burning, signs of an acute inflammatory process, which can spread to the uterus and appendages, causing reproductive disorders. A symptom of colpitis is white or yellow vaginal discharge with a rather unpleasant odor.
Inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes . The inflammatory process in the appendages can occur as a result of urogenital infections and hypothermia. Inflammation of the tubes and ovaries is accompanied by intense pain in the lumbar and lower abdomen, and the appearance of yellow vaginal discharge. Breakthrough uterine bleeding is possible.
Venereal diseases . Sexually transmitted diseases pose a serious threat to women's health. They often lead to inflammation of the appendages, the formation of adhesions and the development of infertility. Sexually transmitted diseases are accompanied by pathological yellow discharge with an odor, severe swelling of the vulva, painful urination, itching and burning in the perineum and genitals.
How to determine if the discharge is pathological
There are a number of signs indicating the development of pathological processes in the genital area in girls. These include:
- itching, redness of the mucous membrane, increased discharge - these may indicate the presence of inflammation;
- the presence of an unpleasant odor, bloody inclusions;
- copious foamy discharge accompanied by redness of the mucous membrane indicates a trichomonas infection;
- discharge with a cheesy consistency along with itching indicates a fungal infection;
- scanty leucorrhoea, accompanied by severe itching, redness of the mucous membrane, can be the result of a parasitic infection;
- scanty leucorrhoea, which occurs in parallel with ulcers, vesicular formations on the mucous membrane, is often a “companion” of herpes;
- Milky or gray liquid discharge accompanied by a characteristic “fishy” odor may indicate the presence of bacterial vaginosis.
In all these cases, it is necessary to contact a pediatric gynecologist as soon as possible for diagnosis and adequate treatment.
What to do if yellow discharge appears
Abundant white-yellow and yellow discharge with or without odor is a reason to contact a gynecologist or venereologist. Regardless of the diagnosis (thrush, ovarian inflammation, etc.) and the prescribed treatment, a woman should pay special attention to intimate hygiene. To make daily care easier, you can use thin CAREFREE® daily sheets, which keep your laundry clean and feeling fresh. Delicate daily diaries are securely attached to the underwear, quickly absorb discharge, without leaving a feeling of discomfort in the intimate area.
Bleaches
It is not recommended to use too aggressive chemicals. Oxygen bleach or Antipyatin soap are perfect for cleaning white items. It is completely safe and made based on a bio-formula. The substances are simply applied to the stains, and after a while they are washed off in the usual way. This way you can wash not only yellow, but also brown stains on white panties.
Note! All of the above methods for removing yellow spots are absolutely harmless for children. And also suitable for women with sensitive skin.
Yellow discharge in women
Yellow vaginal discharge in women is an alarming symptom that accompanies a number of serious diseases.
Normally, vaginal discharge is fluid/mucus caused by the work of the glands of the vagina and cervix, desquamated epithelial cells. Thanks to this, self-cleaning occurs, and dead cellular elements and microorganisms come out along with mucus.
Depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle, the amount of vaginal discharge can normally vary - from abundant transparent to scanty milky white. The volume of vaginal discharge increases with ovulation, hormonal changes, and lactation. The release of yellow mucus is allowed during the period when the egg is released from the follicle. After a few days, the amount of lingering yellow discharge decreases, and the secretion itself becomes white. If the volume, color, smell or consistency of vaginal discharge seems unusual, especially if the discharge is itchy or red, then in most cases these are symptoms of a vaginal infection.
Women may have a slight yellowish vaginal discharge during the premenstrual period. If there are no symptoms of trouble, and the yellow discharge disappears on its own after menstruation, this can be considered normal.
If yellow discharge on panties is accompanied by an unpleasant odor, itching, or irritation, it is necessary to clarify the provoking factor.
Causes of yellow discharge
The most common reasons include the following:
Cervicitis
Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix. STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, genitourinary herpes, urogenital warts, trichomoniasis) can be complicated by cervicitis with yellow discharge. Bacterial vaginosis is considered one of the predisposing factors for cervicitis. Some vaginal contraceptives and devices (pessary, cervical cap, condoms, spermicides, IUDs) lead to an inflammatory process in the cervix. We list the main symptoms of cervicitis:
• profuse yellow discharge and itching; • intermenstrual bleeding; • pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, aggravated by sexual intercourse; • weakness; • temperature increase.
Vulvovaginitis
Vulvovaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina and vulva. According to observations, every representative of the fairer sex encounters vulvovaginitis at one time or another in her life. The inflammatory process is supported by yeast, pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, viruses, allergens, and STI pathogens.
Symptoms characteristic of vulvovaginitis:
• vaginal dryness; • painful sensations; • yellow discharge on panties; • itching; • hyperemia and irritation in the genital area.
Chlamydia
The causative agent of this infection is chlamydia, the disease is transmitted during sexual contact. It is more often diagnosed in women with multiple partners.
• yellow vaginal discharge; • discomfort during urination; • discomfort during sex; • frequent relapse of chronic diseases of the pelvic organs.
In some women, chlamydia causes infertility. Lesions of the eyes and joints caused by chdamidia infection are less commonly diagnosed. Joint treatment of the couple is mandatory.
Gardnerellosis (Bacterial vaginosis)
The biocenosis of each woman is individual, which means that for a long time the number and variety of vaginal inhabitants are approximately the same.
Most often, an imbalance of vaginal microflora is caused by gardnerella. One of the distinguishing features of this conditional pathogen is a specific fishy odor, which becomes stronger after sex or menstruation.
Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis:
• yellow discharge with an odor (sometimes grayish-white);
Important! The color of the discharge depends on the composition of the pathogenic microflora.
• discomfort in the vagina.
BV responds well to local therapy: suppositories, vaginal tablets, etc. are used. If ineffective, systemic antibiotics are prescribed, taking into account sensitivity. The sexual partner is subject to treatment only if there are complaints.
Gonococcal infection
Gonorrhea is more common than other STDs and is transmitted through sexual contact. The causative agent is Neisser's gonococci. After penile-vaginal contact with an infected partner, the following symptoms appear:
• yellow-green vaginal discharge in women; • hyperemia of mucous membranes; • dysuric disorders.
As a rule, signs of trouble in the female genital organs appear 3–5 days after sexual contact, but later development of symptoms is possible.
After 2 weeks of heavy purulent discharge, a period of imaginary well-being begins, the clinical manifestations are erased, and the woman mistakenly thinks that she is healthy. In fact, gonococcal infection spreads to the pelvic organs, which can lead to gonorrheal endometritis and even pelvioperitonitis.
Both partners are subject to treatment.
Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is another STI that is more often diagnosed in young, sexually active women. Provokes the inflammatory process – Trichomonas vaginalis, vaginal Trichomonas. Clinical manifestations develop within 7–28 days, but variations are possible.
Symptoms of trichomonas infection in women:
• yellow-green discharge, copious, foamy; • pronounced unpleasant odor from the vagina; • pain in the perineum; • burning sensation in the vagina.
When examined on a gynecological chair, a significantly hyperemic cervix is visualized. It is necessary to prescribe treatment for the partner as well.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, some representatives of the fair half may experience yellow, odorless discharge, which occurs against the background of hormonal changes in the body. Normally, they do not cause any concern, are not abundant, and are not accompanied by itching. Yellow discharge during pregnancy in the first weeks may indicate the process of implantation.
If complaints are added, this speaks in favor of a secondary infection.
Yellow discharge after childbirth, caused by the release of blood mixed with vaginal secretions, is a physiological condition. Note that normally there is no itching or redness. An unpleasant odor, purulent discharge, fever with chills, pain in the lower abdomen are signs of endometritis.
When else can there be yellow secretion?
A girl's yellow discharge on her panties may be due to improper hygiene. The fact is that urine contains coloring pigments, and if a few drops get on your underwear after urinating, a yellow stripe will remain.
If discharge comes from the vagina, a consultation with a pediatric gynecologist is necessary. This may be a sign of inflammation (what kind will be clear after the examination) or the result of a foreign object in the vagina.
Bright yellow vaginal discharge may occur after using certain medications, for example, suppositories with sea buckthorn oil.
Yellowish discharge may occur against the background of cervical erosion or after its treatment. If after 3-4 weeks the condition after cauterization does not return to normal, a second consultation with a gynecologist is necessary. What examinations should a woman undergo if she has vaginal discharge:
Removing stains from laundry
You can remove stains from laundry using one of the following simple methods:
- A special bleach or stain remover will help remove urine stains. Check the product label to make sure they are suitable for delicate fabrics. Only oxygen stain remover is suitable for underwear, as chlorine will ruin the item.
- Laundry soap is suitable for any type of fabric. Wet items must be thoroughly soaped and left to soak for several hours.
- Baking soda mixed with salt will help cope with the most difficult stains on delicate fabrics. Mix one tablespoon of each substance and dilute them in 4 liters of water, then soak the clothes in the solution for 3-4 hours.
- Special children's powders or a mixture of peroxide and soda will help to wash white children's underpants from traces of urine or poop. It is necessary to treat the fabric in places of contamination with the resulting mixture, and then wash it in warm, soapy water.
Treatment
Before starting therapy, it is necessary to establish the cause that led to the pathological process.
STIs are treated with antibacterial drugs taking into account sensitivity. In the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, it is considered important to restore the normal biocenosis of the vagina; local therapy, probiotics and prebiotics, multivitamins, etc. are used. The treatment regimen for cervicitis also depends on the factor that triggered the inflammation.
Endometritis after childbirth requires elimination of the provoking cause (for example, an abandoned piece of the placenta) followed by antibacterial, anti-inflammatory therapy. Gynecologists often prescribe Terzhinan for vaginal discharge.
This is a drug for local treatment, contains a broad-spectrum antibiotic (neomycin), a hormone (prednisolone) and antimycotic components (nystatin and ternidazole).
Important! When using vaginal tablets as the only remedy without examination, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and other infections can become latent.
Indications for use:
• bacterial vaginosis; • thrush; • trichomonas infection; • as a preventive measure before medical gynecological interventions; • before childbirth.
During the first trimester of pregnancy, the use of Terzhinan is prohibited.
Release form: tablets for insertion into the vagina.
The frequency and duration are determined individually.

White, curdled, gray, yellow or transparent - what the color may mean
Male discharge, like female discharge, may differ in color, transparency and consistency. These signs vary depending on the disease that led to the appearance of leucorrhoea, its intensity and stage. Discharge is usually a combination of cells, fluid and mucus. Transparency usually depends on the number of cells present in them. The turbidity of the leucorrhoea indicates the presence of a large number of cells in it; with a large number of epithelial cells, the liquid becomes thick and acquires a gray tint. Greenish and yellow color is a sign of the predominance of leukocytes in them. White, cheesy discharge from the urethra indicates the presence of a disease such as candidiasis (thrush).
Male candidiasis is a fairly rare phenomenon. Its cause may be a decrease in immunity due to uncontrolled use of antibiotics, chemotherapy treatment, etc. A man whose immunity is normal will never become infected with candidiasis from his sexual partner. Therefore, the appearance of its main symptom is a reason to contact specialists and undergo a complete diagnosis of the body.
When a patient complains of discharge from the urethra, the doctor usually sends him for testing. They are thoroughly examined in laboratory conditions. Using a microscope, you can determine the presence of trichomonas, gonococci, and yeast fungus in the patient’s body. If bacteria are detected that cannot be identified using the microscopic method, culture of the secretions on a nutrient medium is prescribed. Treatment is most often carried out with antibiotics, but until the correct diagnosis is established, taking medications makes little sense. In such cases, the doctor prescribes broad-spectrum antibiotics, and when a diagnosis is made, specialized medications are taken. Self-medication usually does not bring a positive result, but, on the contrary, contributes to the transition of the disease into a latent chronic form.
Fluids from the urethra are released as a response of the body to the presence of any infection in it. By their abundance one can judge the scale of development of this infection. Often the main reason for the appearance of leucorrhoea in a man is the development of a disease called urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). In this case, the mucous membrane produces a large amount of mucus and red blood cells, which are protective factors. The discharge is also mixed with fluid that accumulates at the site of inflammation.
The second most common cause of discharge in a man is mechanical damage to the urethra from chemicals and salt crystals contained in the urine. The passage of small kidney stones also contributes to damage to the inner wall of the urethra.
White liquid, itching and burning - what is it?
White discharge from the urethra, accompanied by severe itching and burning, is a sign of:
- chlamydia (an infectious disease transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, the causative agent of which is considered to be chlamydia);
- mycoplasmosis (a widespread infectious disease caused by mycoplasmas - organisms between bacteria and viruses);
- ureaplasmosis (an infectious, sexually transmitted disease, the main causative agent of which is considered to be single-celled organisms - ureaplasma).
White discharge with a foamy consistency often indicates the presence in the body of the most common infectious sexually transmitted disease in the world - trichomoniasis.
And finally, the appearance of white fluids from the urethra can be one of the symptoms of a very unpleasant and dangerous disease - prostatitis. In this case, the appearance of leucorrhoea is usually accompanied by difficulty urinating and disorders in sexual life. Sometimes discharge may indicate prostatorrhea or urethrorrhea. An accurate diagnosis is always made only by a urologist.
As we can see, in many cases the appearance of discharge in men is a significant cause for concern and immediate consultation with a doctor, because treatment of most diseases of the genitourinary system not started on time can lead to such serious consequences as impotence or infertility.
Is yellow discharge on panties normal?
Vaginal discharge is a process that is normal in a woman’s life. Their quantity, consistency and even smell largely depend on age, hormonal levels, as well as the presence or absence of sexual partners. A woman should be observant and not ignore any changes in leucorrhoea. For example, is yellow discharge on panties a worrying sign?
Normal vaginal discharge
If a woman’s discharge is clear or white (called leucorrhoea), then this is normal. But sometimes they can change, becoming yellowish. And this will not always be caused by some kind of inflammation. The main sign that yellow discharge on panties is not a problem is the absence of burning, itching, pain and unpleasant odor. In these cases, the presence of such discharge most likely indicates that you are expecting your period or are ovulating. Sometimes they occur in women after sexual intercourse. These phenomena are explained by the influence of hormones. So, even in teenage girls, before the onset of their first menstruation, yellowish, film-like leucorrhoea may appear. During pregnancy, existing white-yellow discharge should also not be a cause for concern. The main thing is that the expectant mother feels comfortable and has good test results.
Yellow discharge on panties as a sign of disease
But if a woman feels itching, pain, burning in the vagina and genital tract, and the discharge acquires an unpleasant odor and becomes abundant, a consultation with a gynecologist is necessary, who, after examination, will prescribe treatment. With any inflammatory process in the genitourinary system or its infection, yellow discharge appears on the panties. Let's give examples.
Allergy
It is usually caused by things like synthetic underwear, pads, condoms and tampons. In this case, severe irritation and copious discharge are observed in the genitals.
Vaginosis
This disease is a manifestation of an imbalance in the vaginal flora, which is distinguished by yellow discharge on panties, similar to cream and having a specific odor. Often this is the only complaint.
Colpitis (vaginitis)
It is characterized by swelling and itching of the genital organs, cheesy discharge, sometimes accompanied by nagging pain in the lower abdomen and back, as well as during sexual intercourse.
Sexual infections
With gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and chlamydia, purulent yellow-green discharge (and in the first case, also copious foamy) with a strong unpleasant odor, itching in the external genitalia and redness, as well as pain when trying to urinate and have sexual intercourse, are observed.
Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) or adnexitis (inflammation of the ovaries)
In the acute form, there is copious yellow discharge with painful sensations during sexual intercourse and the presence of blood in the secretion after it. Sometimes accompanied by bloating and pain during menstruation.
Don't self-medicate!
If atypical yellow discharge appears, you should not self-medicate, following the advice of good friends or the Internet. This may bring some relief, but there is a great danger that the disease will become latent or chronic, and you will still have to go for a consultation with a gynecologist.

Getting rid of dried menstrual blood stains
To wash panties that have brown traces of dried blood on them, you will have to tinker a little:
- Peroxide and water will help dilute dirty marks. The ratio should be one tablespoon of peroxide per liter of water. The solution is applied to the stain and left for several hours, after which it is washed off.
- A little ammonia will help remove stubborn stains from light-colored items, restoring their whiteness. One spoon of alcohol per 2-3 liters of water is enough. This method can damage the color of the fabric, so it is not suitable for colored or dark items.
- Grind a quarter of a piece of laundry soap and dissolve it in water. Then soak the soiled laundry in the solution for several hours and wash the item as usual. To avoid the formation of stains on fabrics, it is necessary to rinse items several times after washing.
- When laundry soap does not help, use special stain removers. Before washing, you will have to soak the washed clothes in water with stain remover overnight.
It may be necessary to wash the laundry several times to remove dried stains.

Yellow discharge in men
Yellow discharge in men can appear due to various urogenital diseases. Men who have this problem should visit a urologist or andrologist. Normally, representatives of the stronger sex should not have copious discharge from the penis.
When a man is sexually aroused, a small amount of lubricant may leak from the penis. But such discharge usually disappears a short time after intimacy. Quite often, yellow mucus appears due to sexually transmitted diseases, so a man is recommended to undergo an appropriate examination by a venereologist to identify the cause of the pathology.
How to detect pathology
The discharge may have different colors. Their shade largely depends on the severity of the disease and the cause of inflammation in the urethra. The discharge includes fluid, mucus and cells. When there is a large accumulation of cells, the discharge becomes cloudy. If a large number of leukocytes are present in the discharge, they acquire a yellow or greenish tint. With candidiasis in men, as a rule, abundant white liquid with a dense consistency is secreted from the genitals. Stains from it can be easily seen on panties.
Yellow mucus may appear in the presence of cancer of the urethra or genital organ. With cancer, the mucous membrane of the urethra often becomes covered with ulcers, which leads to an inflammatory process in the body. In this case, the mucus may contain bloody impurities.
Discharge from urethritis
Yellow discharge indicates the presence of an inflammatory process. A large amount of pus accumulates in the mucous secretion. Yellow discharge often appears in men suffering from specific urethritis. The cause of the inflammatory process in the urethra is sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhea, chlamydia.
The cause of non-infectious urethritis is mechanical damage to the urethra and chemical burns.
Inflammation of the prostate gland
Prostatitis often develops in representatives of the stronger sex who have crossed the fifty-year mark. Inflammation of the prostate gland causes pain in the groin area, pain when urinating, and weakness. The following reasons for the development of prostatitis should be mentioned:
- Irregular sex life.
- Hypothermia.
- Chronic diseases of the genitourinary area.
- Venereal diseases.
- Injury to the soft tissues of the pelvic organs.
With prostatitis, the discharge usually has a yellow or yellow-green tint. When the disease worsens, they are usually accompanied by pain. The patient's body temperature may increase. Sometimes yellow discharge is also observed with prostatorrhea. This pathology occurs when the tone of the prostate decreases. Odorless discharge appears when performing a massage of the prostate gland, after heavy physical activity.
Prostatorrhea is accompanied by itching in the urethra. Prostatorrhea is often combined with spermatorrhea. With this pathology, sperm is spontaneously released from the urethra.
Yellow discharge due to gonorrhea
Yellow discharge is often accompanied by painful sensations in the groin area. Many representatives of the stronger sex experience a burning sensation when urinating. For example, with gonorrhea, the sensitivity of the urethra increases significantly, the head of the genital organ turns red and looks swollen. A man's body temperature often rises. Discharge with this disease can be colored either light yellow or yellow-green. Pain in the male genital area may appear just a few days after unprotected sexual intercourse. In the absence of proper treatment, the patient may experience serious complications:
- Gonorrheal epididymitis. With this disease, an inflammatory process occurs in the area of the testicles, the patient's temperature rises sharply, and swelling of the scrotum appears. Groin pain usually worsens with movement. A man's sperm motility noticeably decreases and the quality of his intimate life deteriorates. Bilateral epididymitis leads to infertility.
- The appearance of abnormalities in the functioning of the urinary system.
- Gonorrheal conjunctivitis. It causes blindness and necrosis of eye tissue.
- Inflammatory skin diseases.
Useful tips
- Children's panties should always be kept clean. Don't let urine stains set in.
- Never wash linen with other clothes and never wash whites with colored ones.
- Women's underwear can be washed either by hand or in an automatic washing machine (additionally, a special mesh bag is used).
- The water temperature should be high enough. This makes it easier to remove dirt, and the fabric will not turn grey-yellow.
- Liquid products, unlike powder granules, do not leave streaks on the fabric and are washed out better.
Don't rush to get rid of yellowed laundry. Using simple folk methods, you can easily restore it to a fresh look. High-quality branded stain removers will also help. When choosing suitable products, take into account the characteristics of the fabrics and how deeply the stains are ingrained. With constant careful care of your laundry, unpleasant marks will not bother you.
Treatment
In order to eliminate yellow discharge from gonorrhea and reduce the likelihood of complications of the disease, a man needs to take antibacterial drugs.
Proper diet
A man needs to watch his diet. In order to increase the effectiveness of treatment, you need to drink fresh vegetable juices and prepare salads with added herbs. It is recommended to include fresh fruits and berries in your diet. Pickled foods, smoked foods, and hot seasonings should be excluded from the menu. It is recommended to stop drinking alcoholic beverages.
