Patient's question:
Recently, every time after being intimate with my husband, I've felt discomfort in my genital area. After my period, there's a period of time—about half a day—when I can smell a foul odor from my genital area. Even taking daily baths hasn't made a difference. My discharge has increased and turned yellow. What could be causing the odor?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this is vaginitis caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the type of vaginitis and then receive targeted treatment. Maintain external genital hygiene at all times, pay attention to personal hygiene, and use boiling water to sterilize underwear, followed by sun exposure. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Exercise regularly and wear loose cotton underwear.An increase in vaginal discharge can pose significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, focus on self-care, consume more vegetables and fruits, and avoid irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with increased vaginal discharge can receive professional treatment.
