Patient's question:
Hello, recently my menstrual flow has been less and after the period, the discharge is like cottage cheese with external genital itching. What is the cause? On January 1, 2012, my menstrual flow was less, the discharge was like cottage cheese, and there was external genital itching, but I did not follow up. Treatment history and effectiveness: did not care about it. Help: want to know what the disease is and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, it is considered to be vaginitis, which can be caused by infections such as bacteria, fungi, or trichomonas. It is recommended to use metronidazole suppositories. If it doesn't work, 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 healing of vaginitis. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating food. Finally, it is advised that female patients must have regular follow-up tests.
