Patient's question:
Hello! My discharge is yellow and has a strong fishy odor. Sometimes, my private area also feels uncomfortable. Could you please answer the following: How does abnormal discharge occur?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is mostly likely a case of vaginitis, as different types of vaginitis require different medications. It is important to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of your vaginal discharge to confirm which type of bacterial infection you have before starting symptomatic treatment. During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, oral medication and vaginal administration can be used under the guidance of a doctor, while also treating the external genitalia. It is best to recover before labor to prevent the fetus from being infected as it passes through the birth canal. All underwear should be thoroughly disinfected, and both partners should be treated to prevent cross-infection. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. At the same time, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
