Patient's question:
Every month during ovulation, the vaginal discharge becomes yellowish and watery, often staining underwear. Sometimes it appears brownish and watery and has a foul odor, but there is no itching. Could it be possible to have a vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
If you see brown discharge during your ovulation period, it is likely related to a small amount of bleeding from the uterine cavity. Most of the time, it is due to poor ovarian function, which may be treated with oral medicine like "White Chicken and Phoenix Pill" to regulate the discharge. Yellow discharge may be caused by poor hygiene leading to vaginal inflammation. It is recommended to pay attention to vulvar hygiene, wear loose and breathable cotton underwear, and avoid tight-fitting clothing. You can use potassium permanganate water for sitz baths if needed. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to visit a hospital for examination and targeted medication treatment.
