Patient's question:
What is the normal discharge of a woman? I have noticed that my discharge has been very yellow and thick lately, like mucus. Please ask: What are the main manifestations of increased discharge?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervical inflammation is a common lower genital tract disease in women. It may cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, intermenstrual bleeding, post-coital bleeding, and external genital itching and burning sensation. First, you need to undergo an HPV test. If it is negative, treatment should be carried out according to CIN I. For patients with erosion lesions, physical treatments such as cryotherapy, electrocautery, and laser therapy can be applied. Six months later, a cytological re-examination should be performed. If there are no abnormalities, a cytological and HPV re-examination should be conducted one year later. If the cytological result is positive for HPV, antiviral treatment should be administered, along with periodic follow-ups. The recurrence of increased vaginal discharge severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual re-examinations and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
