Patient's question:
I've noticed that my leukorrhea hasn't been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the reason? Please ask: How is it best to treat leukorrhea with a bad odor?Doctor's answer:
The vagina is normally odorless, and the discharge is like egg white. If the vagina has an odor, it is mainly due to abnormal discharge. Additionally, if the discharge is purulent, like cottage cheese, or contains blood streaks, it is usually caused by inflammation. In most cases, it is indeed caused by inflammation. It is important to pay attention to vaginal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and cleanse the vagina with clean water. However, avoid overusing external cleaning products like "Jie'er Yin" (a brand name for feminine hygiene products) because excessive scrubbing can disrupt the normal pH balance of the vagina. Only clean the vagina when a medical condition is diagnosed by a doctor. On normal days, stick to rinsing with warm water, change underwear once or twice a day, eat less spicy food, wear loose underwear, maintain a positive mood, and keep the endocrine system balanced. This will ensure that your vagina remains healthy in the long term.
