Patient's question:
Hello, recently my menstrual flow has been less and after the period, the discharge is like cottage cheese with vulvar itching. What is the cause? On January 1, 2012, my menstrual flow was less, the discharge was like cottage cheese, and I had vulvar itching, but did not follow up. Past treatment and effectiveness: Did not pay attention to it. Help: I want to know what the disease is and how it should be treated.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, it is considered to be caused by vaginitis, which can be triggered by infections such as bacteria, fungi, or trichomonas. It is recommended to use metronidazole suppositories. If there is no improvement, it is better to have a vaginal discharge and leukorrhea routine test done as soon as possible to identify the type of bacterial infection and then receive targeted treatment. At the same time, avoid wearing tight clothing, maintain hygienic toilet habits, have a regular routine, and avoid eating too much grilled meat or heavily seasoned food, as these can all help in the recovery of vaginitis. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual activity, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
