Patient's question:
A 37-year-old woman is generally fine, but she experiences symptoms every time after her menstrual period. The specific symptoms include itching in the private area and a feeling of lower abdominal heaviness and pain. Is this a case of inflammation? Also, what is the condition called when a routine vaginal discharge test shows "mixed bacterial vaginosis"?Doctor's answer:
The white discharge with a salty yellow fishy smell you mentioned is usually a symptom of bacterial vaginosis. I recommend you go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and then seek treatment accordingly. Additionally, you must pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Wash the external genitalia and penis before and after sexual activity. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Separate your underwear and other clothing to prevent cross-infection! Wash them and then expose them to sunlight.
