Do you need to be checked for gynecological inflammation?

Patient's question:

My period is eight days late. My period often delays by nearly a year. In the past year, the menstrual cramps have been excruciatingly painful, especially after sexual activity, which has been extremely painful. The last time it was so severe that I called an ambulance. During my period, I had ultrasounds and blood tests, and everything was fine. I always have white discharge with a bad odor, which I can smell while sitting. My underwear is usually yellow. During the three sexual encounters, there was very minimal tearing. Do I need to get checked?

Doctor's answer:

If there is abnormal leukorrhea with an odor, it is likely a typical case of vaginitis or vulvitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your leukorrhea and identify the pathogen for precise treatment. If you frequently experience irregular menstruation, it is suggested to have your sex hormone levels checked on the second day of your menstrual period to determine if there is an endocrine-related cause. Gynecological inflammation is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
