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 methods to prevent increased discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Normal leukorrhea appears as white, thin, paste-like or egg-white-like, highly viscous without a foul odor, and is in small amounts, posing no adverse effects on women's health. During ovulation or pregnancy, an increase in leukorrhea is a normal condition. If leukorrhea increases with an odor during usual periods, it may indicate possible gynecological conditions such as vaginitis or cervical erosion. Regular hospitals' gynecology departments can conduct relevant tests such as vaginal discharge examinations, and further treatment can be provided based on the test results. The recurrence of increased leukorrhea severely harms women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene throughout their lives to prevent sexual transmission. We hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
