Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed an increase in my leukorrhea with small white spots that are painful. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to go to the doctor. So, I decided to ask you here first if I'm sick. If I am, how serious is it? Should I go to the doctor? I hope you can help me solve this problem.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered that you may have a vaginal infection. It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the type of vaginal infection and then treat it accordingly. Maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, avoid scratching, hot water washing, and the use of soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Internally, pay attention to hygiene; underwear should be breathable and loose. Always keep the external genital area dry. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. Additionally, for patients with increased vaginal discharge during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, eat more light foods, and avoid unnecessary harm. Thank you.
