Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I have been experiencing abnormal white discharge recently, along with external itching. How should I treat yellow discharge from external itching?Doctor's answer:
If the external genitalia develop itching again and the vaginal discharge becomes yellow, it is mostly caused by a vaginal infection. It is likely due to bacterial vaginosis. It is necessary to visit a regular public hospital's gynecology department to conduct a thorough examination of the vaginal discharge for a definitive diagnosis. Then, appropriate medication should be administered based on the examination results for symptomatic treatment. If there is rust-like discharge, use povidone-iodine for local sterilization. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Choose loose, breathable cotton underwear.
