Patient's question:
What is the normal discharge of a woman? I have noticed that my discharge has been very yellow and thick lately, like mucus. Please ask: What are the causes of abnormal discharge odor?Doctor's answer:
Hello, consider that you may have contracted vaginitis. It is recommended that you undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the specific type of vaginitis for symptomatic treatment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and using soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. Temporarily refrain from sexual activity if the condition has not improved. The recurrence of abnormal vaginal odor significantly interferes with women's health, and patients should pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia in daily life and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
