Patient's question:
A 29-year-old woman, I have had sexual relations with five men. Among them, four had only one encounter each, while the other is my current boyfriend, with whom I have had more frequent relations. Currently, I have white discharge that is solid, not liquid, and I don't know what's going on. Could it be a gynecological disease? Will it affect my ability to get pregnant in the future? I start to have a bad odor if I don't take a bath for a day. Additionally, I sometimes get stomach pain after having sex with my boyfriend, but it doesn't happen every time. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If there is inflammation in the gynecology department, it may cause abnormal vaginal discharge, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain. You should pay attention to your hygiene habits and consistently use condoms. Avoid having casual sex with others, as it can easily lead to gynecological inflammation. You need to get timely check-ups and take medication that targets the symptoms for better results. Normal vaginal discharge is white, not excessive in amount, and odorless. Neglecting external genital hygiene or a weakened immune system can easily lead to inflammation. You can rinse your external genitalia with warm water daily, change your underwear and pants frequently, or use gynecological cleaning solutions. If necessary, visit a gynecology department for examination and treatment to address the issue.
