Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that there's a lot of discharge from my legs, and it's quite moist. Besides the odor, there's no itching. But today, I found that the discharge is not only abundant but also a bit yellow. Hello doctor, is it a problem if the discharge is increased and slightly yellow? Should I go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea with a bad odor and a yellowish color are symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a mixed infection caused by different types of bacteria. Its main symptom is an increase in vaginal discharge. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a leukorrhea test to diagnose the nature of the vaginitis. If it is bacterial vaginosis, metronidazole vaginal suppositories can be used. Use one suppository each night, alternating for seven days. In addition, during the treatment for increased leukorrhea, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of leukorrhea.
