Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What could be going on? How should I treat abnormal vaginal odor?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukorrhea with blood can reappear before or after menstruation, or during ovulation. It can also be caused by conditions such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial inflammation, and tumors. If it occurs occasionally, there is no need to be anxious—just observe carefully. However, if the symptom of leukorrhea with blood appears frequently, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at a gynecological department. For patients with foul-smelling leukorrhea, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, we advise female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
