Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me if yellow and increased vaginal discharge with an odor is a gynecological disease or inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal leukorrhea is creamy and milky white with no odor. During ovulation, it may again become translucent and stringy, which is normal leukorrhea. If leukorrhea turns yellow again, has an odor, and increases in amount, or if there is itching of the external genitalia, it may indicate vaginitis. There are many types of vaginitis, including trichomoniasis, candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and nonspecific vaginitis. The pathogens causing vaginitis are different, and the treatments and medications for each type are also different. Therefore, if yellow leukorrhea with an odor reappears, it is important to go to the hospital for leukorrhea testing to identify the pathogen and receive appropriate treatment, which will quickly improve.
