Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I treat abnormal vaginal discharge odor effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Normal leukorrhea is colorless, translucent, or creamy white mucus-like, acidic with a pH of 4-5, odorless, and measures 0.5 to 1 CL. It generally does not discharge outside the body and primarily serves as a lubricant for the vagina and external genitalia. If the leukorrhea volume exceeds the normal range, or if changes occur in color, consistency, and odor, it may indicate inflammation. It is recommended to seek medical examination and maintain external genital hygiene and dryness in daily life. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. The recurrence of leukorrhea odor severely harms women's health. Patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
