Patient's question:
Five days after the menstrual period ends, the vagina has already started to discharge a lot of similar things, and it's very itchy. This condition usually lasts for about a week, and after another week of improvement, it starts again, with more discharge and itching.Doctor's answer:
This condition is a syndrome characterized by an increase in vaginal discharge, a fishy odor in the discharge (leukorrhea), and external genital itching and burning, caused by an imbalance in the vaginal microecological environment and endocrine disorders. For your situation, oral medication can be taken, and it is recommended to use a 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution for vaginal irrigation to restore the normal physiological environment, inhibit bacterial growth, and pay attention to dietary nutrition. It is advisable to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to maintain regular bowel movements; drink plenty of water; and prevent urinary tract infections. Bacterial vaginosis poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care training, consuming more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding foods that may exacerbate the condition.
