Patient's question:
Recently, after having sex with my boyfriend, I noticed that my private area has a strong odor and there is a lot of discharge, and the color is also abnormal. Please ask: What are the main reasons for abnormal vaginal odor?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea appears as a white, thin, paste-like or egg-white-like substance, highly viscous, without a fishy odor, and in small amounts. Abnormal leukorrhea is often seen in gynecological conditions such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for a follow-up examination and to conduct a routine leukorrhea test to identify the pathogenic bacteria before starting treatment. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. For patients with leukorrhea odor, in addition to formal treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
