Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my leukorrhea is abnormal. It's chunky, like cottage cheese, and the color is abnormal, entirely yellow-green. It's accompanied by vulvar itching, especially at night when it's particularly painful. I also have lower abdominal pain. I'd like to consult and find out if I have vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching and a cottage cheese-like discharge with yellow-green color may indicate vaginitis. Vaginitis can also cause recurring vaginal itching, and some individuals may experience vaginal pain and pain during intercourse. A discharge test can be performed to determine the type of vaginitis. After diagnosis, treatment should be administered based on the cause. Medication should be taken and stopped only under the guidance of a doctor. Do not stop medication arbitrarily or discontinue treatment prematurely once symptoms improve.In addition to standard treatment for vaginal itching, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
