Patient's question:
Recently, after having sex with my boyfriend, I noticed that my private area has a strong odor and there are a lot of discharge, and the color is also abnormal. Please ask: What methods are effective for treating abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal discharge is commonly associated with vaginitis issues, and it is recommended to conduct a thorough examination of the routine discharge test. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Avoid self-medication without a clear diagnosis, as different types of vaginitis require different medications.Recommendations:
- Underwear and socks should never be washed together with shoe soles. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, underwear should be thoroughly dried in the sun.
- Both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent recurrent infections during sexual activity, which may lead to prolonged and unresolved conditions.
- During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited.
- For patients with abnormal discharge, in addition to proper medical treatment, self-care is equally important. This includes maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity while on medication.
- Lastly, female patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
