Patient's question:
Due to a cold, I went to the pet hospital today to get some cold medicine and had a few injections. But after coming back, I noticed that my leukorrhea contained blood streaks. What could be the reason? I have never experienced this situation of blood streaks in leukorrhea before. I want to know if taking cold medicine could cause abnormal leukorrhea. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
A cold has nothing to do with blood vessels in the vagina. The course of a cold is usually about 7 days, and it generally improves on its own. There's no need to worry; just drink more water and get adequate rest.If the vagina contains blood vessels, it is more likely due to cervical erosion or vaginitis. I recommend you go to the hospital for a check-up, specifically a routine vaginal discharge test, to identify the cause before treatment.
There are many treatment methods for abnormal vaginal discharge, but since each patient's condition is different, the diagnostic approach may vary. Therefore, it is advisable for patients to seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
