How to treat vulvar itching during lactation?

Patient's question:

Today I noticed a translucent jelly-like discharge on my underwear. It basically has no smell. What could be the reason? Is this a symptom of a gynecological disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you explained, if it's just an occasional occurrence, it's not a big deal. Sometimes, even after menopause, this situation may recur. If there is a recurrence of external genital itching or an odor in the secretions, it suggests a vaginal infection. It is important to actively treat the inflammation, which can be done with either levofloxacin or ceftriaxone plus anti-inflammatory medication. It is essential to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to hygiene in the external genital area. For severe gynecological disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
