Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for several months. Recently, I've noticed an odor and itching in my lower abdomen. When I'm away from home, I often smell a sour odor. I checked my discharge, and it's green and looks like cottage cheese. I want to ask if this could be a case of candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
A moldy discharge, like that of, is caused by fungal vaginal inflammation. You can use gynecological cleansing solutions for washing, apply antifungal creams or suppositories for treatment, and change your underwear promptly to prevent reinfection. Avoid overly stimulating foods, and ensure your underwear is loose and breathable. If the external genital area is not well-ventilated, it can also lead to fungal vaginal inflammation. Vaginal inflammation can be treated with symptomatic therapy while also using dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. In your daily diet, it's important to eat appropriately and avoid stimulating foods.
