Patient's question:
For the past month, I've been experiencing occasional lower abdominal heaviness and a cool sensation, similar to the feeling during my previous menstrual periods. I'm currently breastfeeding, and it's been one year and two months since I gave birth, but my period hasn't returned. My vaginal discharge has been abnormal for a while now. Previously, it was a bit like thick, yellowish-green mucus, but in the past week, it has been like cottage cheese. The past two days, my lower abdomen has been tender but without discomfort. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, the first consideration is that it is more likely to be caused by gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. To identify the cause of lower abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge, it is recommended that you first go to the hospital for relevant examinations such as ultrasound and routine vaginal discharge tests. It is better to confirm the diagnosis and then provide symptomatic treatment. Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
