Patient's question:
These past few days, my leukorrhea has increased, appearing milky white, mucous-like, or with some yellowish substance mixed in. I don't know if I have a gynecological infection, as I usually don't have this much leukorrhea. After using a cleaning liquid to wipe the vaginal area, I felt a bit better. What other medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of vaginitis, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological examination and a test of secretions to confirm the diagnosis. If it is bacterial vaginosis, medications such as nitrofurantoin or metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, you can use products like Honghe wash solution for cleaning. Drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Practice good personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and abstain from sexual activity. Patients should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the increased vaginal discharge does not improve with treatment, it is important to switch to a new treatment plan promptly.
