Patient's question:
A 21-year-old woman, whose boyfriend often touches her clitoris to reach orgasm, has noticed yellowish-white discharge with streaks of blood in the last two days. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Yellow discharge is usually a symptom caused by vaginal inflammation. The presence of blood streaks may indicate ovulation. Normal discharge is extremely small in amount, colorless, and odorless. Yellow discharge indicates a vaginal infection. Frequent touching of the clitoris can easily lead to gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis. It is recommended to observe carefully for a few days. Ovulation bleeding typically lasts 3 to 5 days and the amount of bleeding is usually less than that of a menstrual period. Currently, you can use a gynecological wash to clean the external genital area. Avoid spicy foods and maintain a light diet.
