Patient's question:
I am a 61-year-old woman and have been feeling some discomfort in my body, but I don't know what's wrong. Please ask: What could cause yellow discharge like cottage cheese?Doctor's answer:
Yellow discharge resembling curd may be caused by fungal vaginitis or bacterial vaginitis. In patients with bacterial vaginitis, the continuous increase of lactobacilli in the vagina leads to an increase in vaginal discharge, and the color of the discharge turns yellow. In patients with fungal vaginitis, the discharge tends to clump together, resembling curd. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate their physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life. They should also consume more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
