Patient's question:
I am a 59-year-old woman and have noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. What could be the reason for the yellow discharge resembling cottage cheese?Doctor's answer:
Yellow leukorrhea resembling curd may indicate symptoms of vaginitis, with a higher possibility of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to undergo a thorough leukorrhea examination for diagnosis, and then address the issue accordingly based on the test results. Daily personal hygiene should be maintained, and the private area should be kept clean. Currently, sexual intercourse should be avoided.Additionally, the patient needs to adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate physical and mental health.
