Patient's question:
A 27-year-old woman doesn't know what's going on. She hasn't had sex with her husband recently and usually cleans her private area and underwear. However, she suddenly started experiencing itching in her private area and had yellow and excessive discharge. Please ask: What is the situation when the vagina is painful and has a fishy odor?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition is mostly caused by bacterial vaginosis. However, it is still recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of your vaginal discharge to identify the specific cause for targeted treatment. Do not self-medicate. Pay attention to local hygiene, and change your underwear and socks frequently. Lastly, during treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. Keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
