Patient's question:
I have always had irregular menstruation, but it was limited to timing issues. My periods would sometimes come one or two days late, and sometimes two or three days early. So, I never took it too seriously. However, recently, my leukorrhea has reappeared with an unpleasant odor. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Occasional delays or advances of two days in menstruation do not qualify as menstrual irregularities. This is because the menstrual cycle is influenced by environmental factors, diet, medication, and mood, making it impossible for it to be perfectly on schedule every month. If there is an odor in the white discharge, it indicates the presence of vaginal inflammation. You can go to the hospital to collect secretions for a detailed examination of the vaginal discharge. Based on the examination results, you can use vaginal douches and suppositories under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
