Patient's question:
I've noticed that my vaginal discharge hasn't been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the reason? How should I treat increased vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be bacterial vaginosis. First, it is important to alleviate and eliminate susceptible factors. Always maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness, and avoid scratching. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently, or use hot water to soak and then disinfect, ensuring it is not mixed with other clothes to prevent cross-infection. Additionally, you can take metronidazole, which is currently widely recognized as a reliable oral medication with effective results. If the dosage is high or to prevent gastrointestinal reactions, vitamin B6 can be added. Many topical treatments are also available, such as Jynny gel disinfectant. An increased amount of vaginal discharge is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene.
