Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I am quite busy with work and don't pay much attention to my health. However, I have recently noticed some discharge. Please ask: Where should I sniff the discharge to determine if it smells?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea is colorless, translucent, and odorless. Abnormal leukorrhea cannot be ruled out as it is caused by diseases such as vaginitis or cervicitis. It is necessary to go to the hospital to examine the discharge to confirm the type of pathogen. No matter where you sniff it, it is unreliable because leukorrhea has no smell when sniffed directly. Finally, patients should maintain a light diet, a cheerful mood, avoid overtime and late nights, and ensure sufficient sleep. Additionally, it is important to maintain a habit of staying active and avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily life. Never overeat.
