Patient's question:
Female, 22 years old. I've noticed that my vaginal discharge hasn't been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the issue? Please advise: How do I treat it when I have external vaginal pain, yellow discharge, and a bad odor?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the yellowish discharge with an odor you described, it is likely caused by a recurrence of vaginal inflammation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine examination of the discharge and then receive targeted medication based on its characteristics. If it is not convenient to go to the hospital, you can temporarily use a liquid to clean the external genital area. Applying topical Sophora gel can help. If the symptoms do not improve, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately. In fact, having yellowish discharge is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
