Patient's question:
Abnormal discharge, creamy and viscous substance, turns yellow when dry, quite moist, stains a large area on underwear, but the amount of viscous substance is very little, and after being killed, it looks like water stains. Using a small mirror for a close examination, I found small blisters-like growths on the inner side of the labia minora, like a small patch of fuzz. There is no pain upon contact, and even if I pinch hard, the skin does not break. When exposed to cold, my lower abdomen feels a bit uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
The discharge has a foul odor and is viscous, with a milky white appearance, which is likely caused by a Candida albicans infection. This is a symptom of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine discharge examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then use antifungal medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse, change underwear frequently, and maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with abnormal discharge, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. It is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
