Patient's question:
A 22-year-old female has yellow discharge, and her underwear appears yellow. However, when she wipes with tissue paper, it comes out white. What's going on? Sometimes, the discharge starts yellow when she first wipes, but then turns white afterward. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
If a woman's discharge is significantly and continuously increasing compared to normal, it is abnormal. The most common cause is vaginitis. If the discharge is yellow with an odor and is accompanied by external genital itching, it may be caused by trichomoniasis. It is recommended to visit a gynecological department for a routine vaginal discharge examination. Pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, bathe frequently, and change underwear and clothes often. You can use gynecological cleaning solutions or potassium permanganate solution for wiping.
