Patient's question:
I used to be very healthy and had regular periods. Since I had an abortion six months ago, my health has started to decline. My periods often delay, and my vaginal discharge has turned yellow, accompanied by a bad odor. I want to know what I should do in this situation. Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Yellow discharge with a foul odor may be a symptom of vaginitis. It is recommended that you visit a hospital immediately for a routine leukorrhea test and vaginal discharge examination. Based on the results of the examination, appropriate medication should be prescribed. Avoid self-medication to prevent delaying the treatment. Maintain good hygiene in the affected area, change underwear daily, and wear loose cotton underwear. Underwear should be washed separately and exposed to sunlight for drying. During vaginal medication, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.
