Patient's question:
I had the painless abortion surgery about half a month ago. At the time, there wasn't much bleeding after the surgery, and the doctor said it proved the surgery was quite clean. I was quite relieved. Now, I've been resting at home for more than two weeks, and there's basically no bleeding anymore. However, my vaginal discharge has become significantly more abundant than before, and it's slightly yellow and quite thick.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for increased leukorrhea can be divided into two major categories: infectious factors and non-infectious factors. Due to the psychological trauma to the uterus after an abortion, it is more prone to infection, which may lead to bacterial penetration and subsequently cause increased leukorrhea. In clinical diagnosis, common diseases include candidiasis, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, syphilis, chlamydial cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, and cervical canalitis. The interference caused by increased leukorrhea to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek timely medical diagnosis while paying attention to dietary issues, with light and plain foods as the foundation. It is hoped that patients with increased leukorrhea can receive professional treatment.
