Patient's question:
Redness, swelling, itching, and slight pain in the genital area, yellow discharge. Just had a bacterial cold. What are the symptoms usually associated with yellow discharge?Doctor's answer:
This situation does not rule out the possibility of candidal vulvovaginitis. In principle, if there is recurrence of vulvar redness and swelling, and leukorrhea becomes clumpy, there is an 80-90% chance it is candidal vulvovaginitis. Of course, if you are not reassured, it is better to consult a gynecologist again, have a leukorrhea test performed by the doctor, and diagnose the specific pathogen before considering symptomatic treatment.Leukorrhea turning yellow indicates a serious condition. It is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
The above answers are hoped to assist you. Thank you.
