What is the reason for the white discharge turning yellow and resembling curd?

Patient's question:

The discharge is yellow and looks like cottage cheese, it's not healthy. It has a slightly fishy odor. Last month, I took medication for a course of vaginal treatment, but I haven't been treated since my period ended. Is it coming back again? What should I do? What medication should I use? What should the male take?

Doctor's answer:

Confirm the type of infection through a routine vaginal discharge test before taking medication. Generally, it is recommended to alternate treatments for three menstrual cycles, using either topical medication for 7 days each month or oral medication. Maintain external genital hygiene and keep the area dry at all times. Yellow vaginal discharge is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay attention to maintaining clean external genital hygiene and change their underwear frequently.
