Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, what to do besides abnormal vaginal discharge odor? This week, my vaginal discharge has been quite heavy and smells fishy. My external genital area is itchy, and I've tried some cleansers and medications, but they haven't helped at all. So, I want to ask how I can effectively solve my problem.Doctor's answer:
The white discharge has a fishy odor and an unpleasant smell, suggesting a higher possibility of bacterial vaginosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough examination of the white discharge at a public hospital's gynecology clinic. There may be mixed infections, and only after identifying the type of infection can effective treatment be administered. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and the course of treatment must be followed. Generally, it takes 2-3 treatment courses to fully recover.A foul-smelling discharge is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery.
