Patient's question:
I have had abnormal white discharge for a long time, probably about two years. At first, the discharge increased in amount but remained clear in color. Later, it became thick and slightly yellowish. Now, I can see yellow, sticky discharge on my underwear every day, like mucus, and it's quite a lot, making me very uncomfortable. Even when using toilet paper, I can wipe out a significant amount. Is this a fungal infection?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation and symptoms you described, it is currently considered that there may be a case of bacterial vaginosis. Hello, candidal vaginitis primarily manifests as some discharge resembling cottage cheese, which is accompanied by severe itching. However, your current discharge is yellowish, indicating a bacterial infection. You can use topical medication, such as many metronidazole-based drugs, to alleviate the condition. Continuous use for 1 to 2 weeks can help relieve it. Pay attention to hygiene and clean daily. In addition to treating abnormal discharge, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
