Patient's question:
I've noticed that my vaginal discharge hasn't been normal recently. The color, odor, and amount are all different from before. What could be the reason? Please ask: What are the symptoms and treatments for increased vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal white discharge is considered to be caused by vaginitis. It is necessary to conduct a thorough examination to determine the nature of the vaginitis, and then provide targeted treatment. It is recommended to perform a routine white discharge test to identify the type and nature of the vaginitis. Symptomatic treatment is required. For bacterial vaginosis, antibiotics should be used. If it is a fungal infection, antifungal drugs such as ketoconazole should be administered. For trichomoniasis, metronidazole should be used. For patients with abnormal white discharge, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care measures, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
