Patient's question:
Recently, I also don't know what's going on. I noticed some white discharge in my underwear, like cottage cheese-like, and the external genital area is also itchy. Besides a bad odor, it's very annoying. I suspect it might be a gynecological disease. Hello, how should I treat abnormal discharge and itching?Doctor's answer:
The leukorrhea appears like cottage cheese, accompanied by external genital itching, suggesting a possible case of candidal vulvovaginitis. For candidal vulvovaginitis, baking soda can be used to wash the external genital area, and it can be supplemented with vaginal suppositories such as clotrimazole suppositories, nystatin suppositories, and miconazole vaginal tablets. Additionally, extra topical creams like clotrimazole cream or miconazole vaginal soft capsules can be applied to the external genital area. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, consume less sugar, and avoid prolonged use of antibiotics.Furthermore, for patients with abnormal leukorrhea during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients should ensure adequate vitamin intake to prevent stomach issues and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
