Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if the cause of abnormal vaginal discharge is related to sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea should be white, sometimes translucent, sometimes viscous, and odorless. During puberty, leukorrhea is affected by estrogen and exhibits cyclical changes, sometimes increasing continuously and sometimes increasing. During ovulation, leukorrhea is clear, abundant, while at other times it is less abundant and more viscous. Changes in leukorrhea characteristics are often closely related to vaginal infections or gynecological diseases. Purulent leukorrhea has an odor and is accompanied by itching and discomfort in the external genitalia, often indicating vaginitis. Bloody leukorrhea is more common in cervical or uterine inflammation. Therefore, every woman should carefully observe the characteristics of her leukorrhea and seek follow-up medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are detected.
