Patient's question:
A 26-year-old woman has increased white discharge this month, which is yellow, thick, and sticky, without other symptoms or itching. Is it vaginitis? She has had mild bacterial vaginosis in the past. Is it the same this time? It doesn't itch, just the white discharge is thick and yellow.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, are you currently having your menstrual period or are you in your ovulation phase? For some people, having yellow leukorrhea after ovulation is also considered normal. After menopause, if estrogen levels are slightly higher and there is more shedding of vaginal cells, the discharge may become thicker. If your leukorrhea is yellow and thick after your period, it may indicate mild inflammation, though it may not necessarily cause itching. You can use metronidazole effervescent tablets to help regulate it. In addition to treating increased leukorrhea, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a relaxed mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
