Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort and itching in my private area, with the symptoms becoming particularly unbearable in the afternoon. I'd like to ask: What are the potential harms if leukorrhea is not treated?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea may be a sign of gynecological inflammation. Leukorrhea that is abundant and thick is often an indication of gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine leukorrhea examination (to check for vaginitis) and a cervical examination (to check for cervical inflammation) to identify the cause before symptomatic treatment. A routine leukorrhea examination involves collecting and examining vaginal secretions. A cervical examination can be performed using a colposcopy, or an experienced doctor can directly observe the cervix with the naked eye for a preliminary check of cervical inflammation symptoms. For patients with increased leukorrhea, in addition to medication to alleviate symptoms, it is also important to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
