What are the classifications of white discharge with an odor?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very concerned about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what types of abnormal vaginal discharge are classified as?

Doctor's answer:

Leukorrhea is divided into physiological leukorrhea and pathological leukorrhea, with the latter often caused by inflammation.
Clear, translucent, viscous leukorrhea: This type is commonly seen in chronic cervicitis, cervical canalitis, and after estrogen use.
Foamy leukorrhea: Often associated with trichomoniasis.
Cheese-like leukorrhea: Characteristic of candidiasis.
Yellow (purulent) leukorrhea: Mostly caused by bacterial infections.
Bloody leukorrhea: Commonly seen in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, vaginal tumors, etc.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a routine leukorrhea examination, take oral traditional Chinese medicine, and use suppositories and washes for treatment.
Leukorrhea odor is an easily occurring gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
