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. What could be the reason for having a foul-smelling discharge?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding with a bad odor is generally considered to be due to physiological and pathological factors. It may reappear during menstruation or when the body's resistance declines. Additionally, conditions such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other gynecological issues can also cause it. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly. You should visit the gynecology department for a thorough examination and treatment. Do not worry about staining your shorts, nor about your shorts dirtying the external genital area, and avoid frequently using sanitary pads. These habits can promote rapid bacterial growth, potentially leading to vaginal infections and various inflammatory conditions, which may result in an increase in leukorrhea and even a bad odor. If necessary, you should seek medical attention.
