Patient's question:
Usually, there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable down there. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please:Doctor's answer:
1. Long-term anovulation. Due to the absence of menopause, the endometrium is continuously stimulated by hormones without the counteraction of progesterone, leading to a long-term fibrotic state.2. Anovulation causing infertility.
3. In obese individuals, androstenedione in adipose tissue can be converted into estrone and estradiol, increasing estrogen levels in the body.
4. In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian follicles fail to ovulate for a long time, resulting in high estrogen levels in the body. This condition is more common in women aged 35-50. Due to long-term fibrosis, the endometrium is also prone to cancer. Multiple uterine procedures may lead to uterine perforation.
It is recommended to identify the underlying cause and provide symptomatic treatment. For patients, if gynecological conditions are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent gynecological issues.
