Patient's question:
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 cold drafts. What could be causing an increase in vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea may indicate gynecological inflammation. Leukorrhea that is abundant and thick is often a sign of gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine leukorrhea examination (to check for vaginitis) and a cervical examination (to check for cervical inflammation) to identify the cause before symptomatic treatment. The routine leukorrhea examination involves collecting and examining vaginal secretions. The cervical examination can be performed using a colposcopy, or an experienced doctor can directly observe the cervix with the naked eye for a preliminary check of cervical inflammation. In addition to timely treatment for increased leukorrhea, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
