Patient's question:
I am pregnant, but I have noticed that my vaginal discharge has been abnormal recently. The color is dark, and the odor is particularly strong. I am very worried that it might affect the baby. Could you please tell me what are the common treatments for abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, abnormal white discharge is often caused by a contagious condition. Your situation is likely a recurrence of a gynecological inflammatory infection. The vagina has a normal flora that usually inhibits each other, and it rarely causes problems unless the body's resistance decreases, there is unprotected sex, improper use of feminine hygiene products, wearing tight pants or synthetic underwear, or exposure to antibiotics. For your condition, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the nature of the inflammation and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the vulva, wash the vulva with clean water, change underwear frequently, replace sanitary pads and liners during menstruation, and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent cross-infection.
