Patient's question:
I discovered yesterday that my underwear had some white discharge, which made me feel strange because it was still some time before my period was due. I carefully observed it and found that the discharge was like cottage cheese. So I wanted to ask, what could be the reason for abnormal white discharge that looks like cottage cheese?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal leukorrhea with a curd-like appearance suggests a high likelihood of candidal vulvovaginitis. It is recommended to undergo a routine leukorrhea examination at the hospital. If confirmed as candidal vulvovaginitis, a three-herb cooling and anti-inflammatory pain-relieving wash solution can be used to rinse the external and vaginal areas. Then, vaginal tablets should be placed inside. Specific medication should be strictly followed according to the doctor's advice. Since candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur frequently, it is important to pay attention to hygiene in daily life, especially after sexual activity. The condition of abnormal leukorrhea is quite serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, proper self-care and dietary adjustments should be made to avoid worsening the condition.
