Patient's question:
After having sex, there is itching outside the vulva, increased discharge with a bad odor, and it's also very painful around the area. It has been going on for three to four days. I don't know if it's contagious. It happened during my menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea has a strong odor and external genital itching, suggesting an infection with vaginitis. It is recommended to conduct a routine leukorrhea examination to identify the specific type of vaginitis for targeted treatment. During menstruation, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, as it can easily lead to reverse transmission and exacerbate gynecological inflammation. It is important to take precautions to prevent this from happening again in the future and to actively seek treatment. The increase in leukorrhea indicates a severe condition, and patients should seek timely targeted treatment based on their doctor's advice. Additionally, it is important to focus on self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
