Patient's question:
I have had abnormal white discharge for a long time, probably about two years. At first, it was just more white discharge, still clear in color, but later it became thick and slightly yellow. Now, I can see yellow, sticky discharge in my underwear every day, like mucus, and it's a lot, very uncomfortable. When I go to the bathroom, I can also wipe off a lot with toilet paper. Is this a fungal infection?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation and symptoms you described, it is currently considered that there may be a case of bacterial vaginosis. Recommendations: For candidal vaginitis, it is mainly characterized by some discharge that appears like 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 metronidazole-based treatments, for this. Continuous use for 1-2 weeks can help alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, pay attention to hygiene and clean daily.In addition to treating the abnormal discharge, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
