Patient's question:
Since I had a one-night stand with a stranger at a nightclub last month, I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs this month, and I've been having leukorrhea every day. The leukorrhea has a strong odor, is thick and slightly yellowish. Do I have syphilis?Doctor's answer:
If the discharge has a strong odor, it is actually likely caused by vaginal inflammation, especially with a high possibility of infection from Gardnerella vaginalis. If there is a thick, yellowish discharge, it can be basically confirmed as vaginal inflammation, not syphilis. Syphilis primarily causes the first-stage genital chancre, which presents as a raised, sore-like bump filled with a large number of pale, dense spirilla, but it is painless and itchy. Gynecological diseases are not easy to fully recover from. Friends with these conditions should maintain a positive mindset and face them with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating gynecological diseases and believe that recovery is definitely achievable.
