Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old woman and I have noticed that my vaginal discharge has not been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the reason? Please advise: How should I treat increased vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, increased leukorrhea with itching symptoms suggests there may still be vaginitis. You should pay more attention to personal hygiene. Based on your current situation, it is recommended that you wash your external genitalia with warm water daily, change your underwear daily, and sterilize your underwear by boiling it for 30 minutes before washing. Dry the underwear in the sun. The leukorrhea test has shown a recurrence of the pH value and a large number of white blood cells, indicating bacterial vaginosis. This condition requires active treatment. Normally, the vaginal flora should be dominated by lactobacilli, but now there are more bacteria, such as Gardnerella.
