Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, what is the normal discharge of a healthy woman like? I have noticed that my discharge has been very yellow and thick lately, like mucus. Please ask: What should I do if I have abnormal discharge and occasional itching of the external genitalia and lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal leukorrhea and external genital itching are symptoms of vaginitis, and you should have a leukorrhea test. If the inflammation persists for a long time, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. Here, it is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital to have a leukorrhea test. After identifying the specific type of inflammation, you can take targeted medication. During medication, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual activity. After completing the medication, return to the hospital for a follow-up test. It is recommended to take oral metronidazole tablets and levofloxacin tablets, and place metronidazole suppositories in the vagina for several days. This should resolve the issue, so there is no need to worry.
