Patient's question:
A 26-year-old female has recently experienced an increase in leukorrhea. She had sexual intercourse yesterday, and before that, her leukorrhea had already been slightly excessive. Her last menstrual period was on July 27, and it ended around July 30. After sexual intercourse, she noticed creamy, viscous leukorrhea when using the restroom. Today, she discovered a hard, yellow lump of leukorrhea in the external genital area. What should she do about the increased, creamy, viscous leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. According to your description, you have had sexual activity, with increased yellow, thick, and viscous vaginal discharge, but no odor or itching discomfort. Based on your condition, there isn't a major issue, but the yellow discharge is likely caused by some inflammation. It's best to have your vaginal discharge tested at a hospital to confirm the type of inflammation. This is necessary to rule out inflammation of the vagina or cervix and determine the type of infection. Different infections require different medications. Symptomatic use of cleansing solutions and vaginal medications is recommended. Pay attention to external genital hygiene and sexual hygiene during daily life.
