Patient's question:
I feel that my leukorrhea has significantly increased recently, not only in quantity but also in being sticky and thick. The color of my leukorrhea is also abnormal, sometimes yellow, and once it even contained red blood cells. I suspect I might have some gynecological disease. What could be causing the increased and abnormal leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Generally, an increase in leukorrhea before ovulation or just before menstruation is normal. However, if there is a recurrence of increased leukorrhea with abnormal color, it may be a symptom of vaginitis. For your condition, it is recommended to visit a local reputable public hospital for a thorough examination of leukorrhea routine to confirm the type of vaginitis and then take medication accordingly. Different types of vaginitis require different treatments. Pay attention to hygiene, change underwear frequently, and maintain a light diet.When dealing with increased leukorrhea, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
