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 cases like this, it's best to use a variety of disinfectants for sterilization to ensure safety. Generally speaking, maintaining hygiene will never transmit the infection to your family, so it's important to take good care of yourself. All underwear should be washed separately. You can first gently clean the external area with warm water and wait a few days to see if the symptoms improve. Avoid taking oral medication for now. Abnormal vaginal discharge can cause significant discomfort to patients. Once you notice any symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid irritating foods. We hope that patients with abnormal vaginal discharge can receive professional treatment.
