Patient's question:
I am pregnant, but I have noticed that my vaginal discharge has been abnormal recently. It is dark in color and has a very strong odor. I am very worried that it might affect the baby. Could you please explain: What causes leukorrhea to be milky white?Doctor's answer:
Currently, you should be suffering from candidal vulvovaginitis, as after contracting it, the vaginal discharge will appear milky white and resemble the texture of cottage cheese. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital to undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
