Patient's question:
My daughter is already eighteen years old. She had her first menstrual period in the sixth grade. At first, it was very regular and there were no problems, but recently a few times she said her vaginal discharge was abnormal. I don't know if it's because she's not paying attention or if she's sick. I want to ask, what could cause abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal white discharge may be caused by gynecological inflammation. For those without sexual activity, a white discharge test can check for vaginal infections. Vaginal infections are primarily related to poor personal hygiene. Under normal circumstances, white discharge should not have an odor and should be in small quantities. Currently, with abnormal white discharge, it's important to test the discharge to determine the specific cause. For vaginal infections, it's necessary to use a liquid to clean the external genital area and pay attention to personal hygiene. In addition to treating abnormal white discharge, it's recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life.
