Patient's question:
I am still in university and have not had sexual activity, but recently I found that my vaginal discharge is not normal, with issues in color and odor. Please ask: How can abnormal vaginal discharge be avoided from misdiagnosis?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and translucent, sometimes viscous, and odorless. During puberty, leukorrhea is influenced by estrogen and exhibits cyclical changes, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing. During ovulation, leukorrhea becomes clearer and more abundant, while at other times it is less in quantity. If abnormal, it is recommended to visit a hospital for routine leukorrhea tests for diagnosis and treatment.Leukorrhea abnormalities are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised to maintain external genital cleanliness and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
