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: What should I do if I have itching at the vaginal opening, a bad odor, and yellow vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
This may be a case of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination and then address the symptoms accordingly. Pay special attention to personal hygiene, wash and change your underwear frequently, and expose them to sunlight after washing. Avoid consuming irritating foods in the near future. Maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent colds, eat light and soft foods in your daily diet, and avoid sexual activity during treatment. You can use a liquid for sitz baths every night, and it is usually recoverable.
