Patient's question:
Treated bacterial vaginosis for a week, but noticed that the white, slightly yellow, viscous discharge at the bottom has a slightly unpleasant odor.Doctor's answer:
The leukorrhea appears yellowish-white and is viscous with a foul odor, which is usually a result of vaginitis. However, after a week of medication treatment, it remains the same, and it is highly likely that the medication is not targeting the root cause.Recommendation: Seek medical attention as soon as possible, undergo a leukorrhea test to identify the pathogen, and based on the examination results, determine the underlying cause before proceeding with targeted treatment. Avoid self-medicating or using medication as a trial. Bacterial vaginosis is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating bacterial vaginosis.
