Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that there's a bit more vaginal discharge, and it's yellow. Previously, I didn't need panty liners at all, but now I can't do without them. It seems there's also a bit of an odor. During my period, my lower abdomen is very painful. This might mean I have some gynecological disease. I bought some medicated washes, but they haven't helped at all. What medicine should I take for abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Normal vaginal discharge in women is colorless, translucent, and egg-white like with no odor. If there is a recurrence of abnormal vaginal discharge in terms of color, nature, amount, and odor, accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and external genital itching, it should be considered as vaginitis, cervicitis, erosion, or other infections. However, there are many types of inflammation, so it is recommended that patients seek clinical diagnosis and tests at a formal hospital. Self-medication is not advised. In addition to treating abnormal vaginal discharge, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
