Patient's question:
I have had yellowish white discharge recently, and it smells very bad in the private area in the afternoon. This makes me feel very embarrassed. Please ask: Which treatment is best for abnormal vaginal odor?Doctor's answer:
A foul odor in white discharge may indicate vaginal inflammation. In this case, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a routine white discharge examination. Only by carefully reviewing the results of the examination can the specific type of vaginal inflammation be confirmed. Currently, there are three common types of vaginal inflammation, each requiring different treatment methods. It is advised to promptly visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination. If it is not convenient to go to the hospital, one can purchase some gynecological disinfectants or anti-inflammatory medications from a pharmacy and use them for about a week, while also paying attention to sexual hygiene and daily gynecological hygiene. For patients with foul-smelling white discharge, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. It is recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
