Patient's question:
I've noticed that my vaginal discharge hasn't been normal recently. The color and odor are different, and the amount is also different from before. What could be the reason? Please ask: What causes an increase in vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal vaginal discharge in women is white, translucent, highly viscous, and has a small amount with no odor. If vaginal discharge reappears with changes in quantity, color, odor, or texture, it is a sign that your body may have inflammation or a possible gynecological infection. It is recommended to visit a local reputable specialized hospital early for tests such as routine vaginal discharge examination, electronic colposcopy, and ultrasound to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. For patients with increased vaginal discharge, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
