Patient's question:
I always have very abnormal white discharge before and after my period—pale yellow and in large amounts, especially after the period has ended. My overall health is otherwise fine. I want to ask the doctor, is this abnormal white discharge before and after my period a sign of a problem with a specific part of my body?Doctor's answer:
Recurring abnormal vaginal discharge before or after menstruation may likely indicate a vaginal infection. Neglecting external genital hygiene or keeping the area excessively moist can exacerbate the condition. Therefore, it is recommended to use a feminine hygiene wash for cleaning and sterilization, and avoid consuming irritating foods. Additionally, arranging a post-menstrual routine vaginal discharge examination can help identify the issue and follow medical advice for treatment according to the prescribed course to prevent further worsening of the condition. Abnormal vaginal discharge is a gynecological condition prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised to maintain clean external genital hygiene and change underwear frequently.
