Introduction
Yellow vaginal discharge after spontaneous abortion may be caused by physiological factors, or it could be related to pathological conditions such as vaginitis or cervicitis. It can be improved through general treatment or medication. In addition, it might also result from endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or cervical squamous epithelial lesions. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation so that a doctor can determine the exact cause and provide targeted treatment.

1. Physiological Factors

If personal hygiene is inadequate after a spontaneous abortion, it may lead to abnormal coloration of vaginal discharge, presenting as yellowish leukorrhea. In such cases, enhanced hygiene practices—such as frequently changing and washing underwear—are recommended.

2. Pathological Factors

1) Vaginitis

If proper post-abortion care is not taken, patients may develop bacterial or trichomonal infections leading to vaginitis, which is often accompanied by yellow discharge. Treatment may include the use of vaginal antibacterial gels or gynecological gels under a doctor's guidance.

2) Cervicitis

With cervicitis, repeated inflammatory stimulation may increase vaginal discharge, which can appear gray, light yellow, or green. Medications such as cefixime capsules or azithromycin tablets may be used as prescribed by a physician.

In addition, conditions such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or cervical squamous epithelial lesions may also be responsible. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation so that a doctor can determine the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment.
