Patient's question:
Hello, I have had abnormal leukorrhea these past two days. The leukorrhea I've been experiencing is blackish-red in color and also has a foul odor. What could be causing this? What should I do about abnormal blackish-red leukorrhea? Could this be related to my diet and sleep patterns recently? How should I take care of it?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Excluding the reason related to the menstrual period, the recurrence of dark brown vaginal discharge accompanied by an odor should first be considered as a result of cervical inflammation or cervical erosion. This is likely due to a small amount of peeling that changes color to dark brown under the influence of the vaginal acidic and alkaline environment. It is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination. Typically, cervical inflammation and erosion are caused by gynecological infections. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene habits, especially in terms of sexual hygiene practices.
