Patient's question:
Three days ago, on the 25th, I had sex after my period and took the birth control pill. On the third day, there was a translucent, yellowish liquid discharge with no odor. Is this discharge sperm?Doctor's answer:
In a healthy vagina, it is normal to have a small amount of discharge. If the discharge is yellow, it may be due to poor external genital hygiene or poor vaginal self-cleaning function. It is unlikely to be semen. It is recommended to pay attention to external genital hygiene, wear loose, breathable cotton underwear, avoid tight-fitting clothing, maintain good living habits, and exercise moderately to enhance physical fitness. You can first use Fuyanjie (a brand name for feminine hygiene products) for washing. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a check-up on the discharge and receive targeted medication for treatment.
