Lower back pain and abnormal vaginal discharge with a foul odor, what should be done to ensure safety?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal heaviness, lower back pain, abnormal leukorrhea with grayish-brown color and odor, and sometimes a foul fishy smell emanating from my lower body. My menstrual cycle has also become quite irregular. I want to know what's really happening with my body?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your current condition, the abnormal vaginal discharge suggests a higher possibility of local vaginal inflammation. It is still recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination. Specific tests are needed to determine the nature of the vaginal discharge and the cause of the infection so that timely and targeted treatment can be implemented. Generally, local medication is recommended for symptomatic treatment in the vagina, followed by treatment according to the prescribed course.
When patients face abnormal vaginal discharge, we should actively take treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the abnormal discharge persists despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
