Patient's question:
White discharge is very noticeable, and it feels like something is leaking out. However, menstruation arrived early at the beginning of the month. After a few days, the discharge turned a bit brown. Later, I used two days of foot patches to remove some dampness, and after using them, the discharge below became normal. But a few days later, it turned yellow and thick, and today it became dark brown. When wiping, there were a few streaks of blood, but the vagina doesn't itch. What could be the problem?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Generally speaking, leukorrhea may increase when there is vaginitis, cervical inflammation, or pelvic inflammation, as the inflammation can cause the secretion to continuously increase and be expelled through the vagina, resulting in an increase in leukorrhea. This usually occurs under conditions of inflammatory changes. Based on your description and the photos you provided, your leukorrhea appears dark brown in color. It is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a thorough examination and laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis and then receive symptomatic treatment. For patients, if the leukorrhea is abnormal and the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of abnormal leukorrhea.
