Patient's question:
I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs recently, with abnormal discharge, a bad odor, and external itching. I suspect I might have an infection. What are the initial symptoms of an infection?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of gynecological inflammation include abnormal vaginal discharge with an increased volume, its color ranging from grayish-yellow to yellow-green, and even blood-tinged discharge. It may also cause external genital itching and burning, accompanied by dysuria and urinary urgency, or even hematuria. Some women may initially experience localized abdominal pain with nausea. If the patient has trichomoniasis, symptoms such as high fever and chills may occur. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and also maintain good personal hygiene.
