Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling very unwell, and my leukorrhea has been increasing abnormally. I'm usually very busy at work and don't have time to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. So, I'd like to consult a doctor here: What could be causing the continuous increase in leukorrhea? Is the problem serious? Will it affect my health? Do I need to take any medication?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be vaginitis or cervical erosion. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department for a routine vaginal discharge test and a gynecological internal examination. After a clear diagnosis is confirmed, follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment. Do not take medication blindly to avoid delaying the condition. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, rinse the external genitalia with clean water every night, but do not wash the vagina. During the treatment of vaginitis, avoid sexual activity. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. For patients with abnormal vaginal discharge, in addition to regular treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care during the treatment period, such as maintaining hygiene and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
