Patient's question:
I have been experiencing very yellow discharge recently, and in the afternoon, there is also a very unpleasant odor in my private area. This makes me feel very embarrassed. Please ask: What are the symptoms of abnormal discharge and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal leukorrhea, considered to be caused by vaginitis, requires a thorough examination to determine the nature of the vaginitis, followed by targeted treatment. It is recommended to perform a routine leukorrhea test to identify the type of vaginitis and its nature. Symptomatic treatment is necessary. Bacterial vaginosis requires the use of antibiotics, while if it is fungal, antifungal medications such as ketoconazole are needed. For parasitic vaginitis, metronidazole should be used. The recurrence of abnormal leukorrhea poses serious health risks to women. Patients should pay attention to follow-up tests after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
