Patient's question:
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. If I have abnormal vaginal discharge with a bad odor, what would be the best and most effective treatment?Doctor's answer:
A strong odor in white discharge indicates inflammation in your cervix or vagina. It's best to pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia. If you have sexual activity, be mindful of sexual hygiene. You can also use Jie'er Yin externally. Additionally, avoid spicy and fishy foods. If the condition doesn't improve after these measures, you may need to see a gynecologist. Please don't use medication randomly to avoid making the condition harder to treat in the future. For patients with foul-smelling white discharge, in addition to medication, it's important to focus on self-care, such as paying more attention to hygiene of the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, female patients are advised to have regular follow-up examinations!
