Patient's question:
I have vaginitis. Seven days ago, I applied medication to the vagina, and my discharge returned to normal for two days. The day before yesterday, my discharge turned brown, yesterday there was yellow discharge, and today blood-stained discharge has reappeared. I am currently in my ovulation period. Is this due to ovulation or vaginitis? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, vaginal discharge increases before menstruation. The substances left by the patient are likely a mixture of unabsorbed medication and vaginal discharge. To maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, clean the area with warm water every night. After menstruation ends, wait and see. If the discharge remains excessive, visit a hospital for a discharge test. It is recommended that the patient pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the perineum clean and dry, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and can use another course of medication after the menstrual period.
