Patient's question:
I am a clean person and always wash my private area carefully every day. Recently, I have been approaching my period, and I feel that my leukorrhea has increased significantly. However, I notice that the leukorrhea on my underwear looks like curd, and my private area has been particularly itchy these days. I would like to ask, what kind of vaginitis is characterized by curd-like leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea resembling curd suggests candidal vulvovaginitis, but it is still recommended that you have your leukorrhea tested for routine examination and vaginal discharge analysis to confirm the diagnosis. Then, under the guidance of a doctor, take medication for symptomatic treatment. Pay close attention to personal hygiene, change underwear daily, expose them to sunlight, and sterilize them with boiling water. Wash the external genitalia with clean water every night, but avoid using soaps to clean them to prevent disruption of the bacterial flora, which may lead to inflammation. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above suggestions are for reference only.
