Patient's question:
I've noticed some abnormalities in my leukorrhea recently, and my menstruation is also somewhat irregular. Is it normal to have these symptoms before menopause?Doctor's answer:
After women enter menopause, with the decline in related hormone levels, there may be a reduction in vaginal discharge. However, there will be no issues such as abnormal odor or itching. If abnormal discharge occurs before menopause, it could be caused by vaginitis. If unsure, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Vaginitis is generally categorized into three types: bacterial, fungal, and trichomoniasis, as well as atrophic vaginitis. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and it is important to maintain external genital hygiene and follow a light diet.
