Patient's question:
I've noticed that my vaginal discharge hasn't been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the reason? Please advise: What is the best treatment for abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the leukorrhea has an odor and is viscous, with a milky white appearance, which is likely caused by a Candida albicans infection. This is a symptom of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine leukorrhea examination to confirm the diagnosis and then use antifungal medication under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse, change underwear frequently, and maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with abnormal leukorrhea, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
