Please provide a complete response, as I am really feeling upset. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the occurrence of such discomfort symptoms is considered to be vaginitis, with a fishy odor commonly seen in vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis; a foul odor is often associated with anaerobic bacterial infections or trichomoniasis-induced vaginitis; and a foul odor usually suggests severe endometritis, cervical erosion, or tumors. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for examination and testing, including routine secretion tests to identify the type of vaginitis. This will lead to better targeted treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to check the condition of the cervix and, if necessary, undergo cervical cancer screening.
