Patient's question:
On the 23rd, my period came. On July 15, I suddenly found yellow discharge in my underwear, but when I wiped it on paper, it was only slightly yellow and not very noticeable. I haven't paid much attention to it before. Is this vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, before menstruation, there may be an increase in leukorrhea, which is physiological. Based on your description and the timing of your period, you can temporarily wait and see. However, it is not ruled out that it could be caused by inflammation, such as vaginitis or cervical inflammation, which can both lead to this. First and foremost, it is important to pay attention to hygiene and maintain cleanliness. If there is still an increase in discharge after your period, you may consider going to the hospital for a routine gynecological examination and leukorrhea test to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In terms of diet, it is advisable to reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
