Patient's question:
Since last month, there has been a sudden recurrence of increased leukorrhea. Moreover, it is not only during the premenstrual period that the leukorrhea continuously increases, but it has been excessively abundant throughout the entire month. The odor is extremely severe, and my underwear is always wet, causing itching of the external genitalia. What should I do about the increased leukorrhea, the odor, and the itching of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be vaginitis, it is recommended that you promptly visit a gynecology department for a routine vaginal discharge test and vaginal secretion examination. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment and do not use medication blindly. Pay special attention to personal hygiene in daily life—wash the external genitalia with clean water every night, and avoid using vaginal washes. During the treatment period, refrain from sexual activity and avoid consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods. The recurrence of increased vaginal discharge significantly affects women's health, and patients should maintain clean external genitalia and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
