Patient's question:
I feel uncomfortable in my lower abdomen recently, and there has been an increase in leukorrhea with a fishy odor. It's always a strong fishy smell, and people often ask me about it, which makes me feel very embarrassed. I want to know if this could be a gynecological problem and seek advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description, it is likely that you have bacterial vaginosis. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of your vaginal discharge at the hospital. After diagnosis, you can take metronidazole orally for 7 consecutive days, and also place metronidazole inside the vagina for 7 consecutive days. Please strictly avoid alcohol during the oral metronidazole treatment. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene, wash with warm water daily, change underwear daily, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat a light diet, and wish you good health! The recurrence of increased vaginal discharge poses serious harm to women's health. Patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that female patients can receive proper treatment in the future.
