Patient's question:
I have had abnormal vaginal discharge for a long time, probably about two years. At first, it was just more discharge, still clear in color, but later it became thick and slightly yellowish. Now, I can see yellow, sticky discharge in my underwear every day, like mucus, and it's a lot. It's very uncomfortable. When I use the restroom, I can also wipe off a lot with toilet paper. Is this a fungal infection?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation and symptoms you described, it is currently considered that there may be a bacterial vaginosis.Guidance and suggestions: Hello, for candidal vaginitis, it is mainly characterized by some white discharge resembling curd, which is accompanied by severe itching. However, your current white discharge is yellowish, indicating a bacterial infection. You can use vaginal medication, such as metronidazole-based drugs, for treatment. Continuous use for 1~2 weeks should be sufficient to cure it. Pay attention to hygiene and clean daily. Abnormal vaginal discharge is an easily occurring gynecological disease.
