Patient's question:
Bacterial Vaginosis, Chronic Cervicitis with Cervical Erosion. I have been treating vaginal infections, but as soon as I stop medication, the discharge returns to its original state—yellowish-green and purulent. Is it a problem with cervical inflammation? It feels like the discharge goes back to normal after stopping medication.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis and cervicitis can occur simultaneously at this time, mainly due to neglecting daily personal hygiene of the lower body and poor sexual hygiene, which leads to recurrence. During the infectious period, abnormal vaginal discharge may appear. After treatment and medication cessation, if the vaginal discharge becomes yellow, green, or purulent again, it indicates that the inflammation has recurred. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a re-examination of vaginal discharge at the hospital to understand the severity of the inflammation. Then, follow the prescribed course of treatment diligently. Vaginitis tends to recur repeatedly before and after menstruation.
