Patient's question:
In the past 20 days or so, symptoms have reappeared. Initially, it was a slight yellow discharge accompanied by abdominal pain. Now, it has become yellow, watery vaginal discharge (I had intercourse before my period was fully complete, and then abdominal pain started. After taking medication for gastrointestinal issues, the pain was somewhat relieved, but the discharge has become increasingly yellow). I had a gynecological examination and an ultrasound, which showed no problems. Still not feeling (at ease), I had another liquid-based cytology test, which indicated mild inflammation. The doctor quickly opened my vagina and said that the cervix was slightly congested and red, and gave me several topical and internal suppository medications to take home. After using them for 3 days, the discharge suddenly turned light pink, though the amount was not much and there was no odor. However, I’m worried and want to do a vaginal discharge test, so I’ve stopped taking the medication for the third day now. But in the past 20 days, in order to get the tests done, I had my vagina opened three times quickly and had two ultrasounds. Now, I’m unsure if it’s suitable to do this.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems you have only a common vaginitis. Vaginitis is a common gynecological condition that tends to recur and is easily triggered. Excessive use of colposcopy can easily cause damage to the vaginal opening, leading to peeling, which is not good. In your case, I recommend anti-inflammatory treatment, including oral antibiotics (roxithromycin) and topical medication (clotrimazole suppository), which have a good effect. If it improves, I suggest you continue the medication for another course to stabilize the condition. After that, further examinations may not be necessary. I hope my explanation helps you.
