Patient's question:
At the age of 30, yesterday while having sex with my husband, I noticed some white, sticky substances on his penis. I haven't felt any itching normally, and this isn't the first time this has happened. It appeared again a few months ago, and at that time, there were also white clumps when I strained while using the restroom. I took medication for monilial vaginitis then, but it wasn't effective (for two months). Later, the symptoms disappeared on their own. Now, when this phenomenon reappears, I have no sensation at all. What could this be?Doctor's answer:
When inflammation or tumors occur in the reproductive tract, leukorrhea will continuously increase, and its color and nature will also change again. During bacterial vaginosis, leukorrhea increases, appearing yellow, purulent, and foul-smelling. During trichomoniasis, it is grayish-yellow, foamy, and thin. During vaginal candidiasis, leukorrhea increases, appearing white, curd-like, and thick. During cervicitis, it is light yellow or purulent and viscous. During senile vaginitis, leukorrhea is watery or purulent. During submucosal uterine or cervical fibroids, leukorrhea is watery or bloody. During cervical cancer, leukorrhea is particularly abundant, appearing watery, purulent and bloody, like dirty rice water, with a foul odor of tissue decomposition. During uterine body cancer, leukorrhea increases, appearing bloody or serous, sometimes with a foul odor. When women experience increased leukorrhea again and also have abnormal symptoms, they should seek follow-up treatment promptly to identify the cause.
