Patient's question:
Over the past two years, my gynecological problems have become a bit severe, but I haven't seen a doctor yet. Recently, my discharge has been particularly thick and often comes out in the form of cottage cheese-like clumps. What type of vaginitis is this? If I start using a vaginal wash now, will it be okay? Or do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection, with its main symptoms being vaginal itching and a cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. Based on your description, the cottage cheese-like discharge suggests a higher likelihood of candidiasis vulvovaginitis, but a vaginal discharge test is still needed to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended not to use medication indiscriminately and to visit a nearby regular hospital for a thorough vaginal discharge test. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Vaginal infections can cause significant interference to patients. If you notice any symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light foods as the foundation. We hope that vaginal infection patients can receive professional treatment.
