Why does the vaginal itch after menstruation with yellow leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

I am a 29-year-old female, and gradually, my body started to feel uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong, and it seems like I lack energy.
Question: Why does the vaginal discharge turn yellow after menstruation, and why does the vaginal opening itch?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal itching, abnormal discharge, and other symptoms are commonly seen in vaginitis. Vaginitis is more prone to occur before and after menstruation. Since there are different types of vaginitis, the medications and treatment plans vary accordingly. It is recommended to first have a routine vaginal discharge test done at the hospital. Based on the test results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. During the treatment period, patients are strictly prohibited from having sexual intercourse to prevent cross-infection between partners. Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, change underwear and pants frequently, and keep the external genital area clean and dry at all times.
