Patient's question:
Abnormal white discharge, yellow mucus-like in appearance, Ureaplasma urealyticum positive, internal examination normal. I searched online and found this condition is contagious; can it be transmitted through daily life to family members, especially children? I have boiled my underwear in boiling water for five minutes. How can I effectively and thoroughly remove the bacteria? The doctor hasn't prescribed any medication yet. What medicine should I take? How long does it usually take to heal on its own? Should outer clothing be sterilized? Do I need to use sterilization?Doctor's answer:
Here are a few suggestions: In such cases, it's best to use many disinfectants for sterilization several times, as this would be much safer. Generally speaking, maintaining hygiene will never transmit it to your family, so it's important to always take good care of yourself. All underwear should be washed separately. You can first temporarily use warm water to clean the external area and wait and see if the symptoms improve in a few days. Avoid taking oral medication for now. Abnormal vaginal discharge can cause significant distress to patients. Once you notice any symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid irritating foods. We hope that patients with abnormal vaginal discharge can receive professional treatment.
