Patient's question:
Leukorrhea is excessive, colorless, but has a foul odor. There is also itching of the external genitalia, and occasionally red bumps may appear. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Without sexual activity, yeast infections and candidal vaginitis can also occur. Yeast vaginitis may cause increased vaginal discharge with a foul odor. Long-term inflammation can lead to red bumps on the outer vulva. It is usually not bothersome and does not require special treatment, as it often does not resolve on its own. This condition is primarily caused by local infection due to a weakened immune system. It is recommended to eat less sweet food, as it can worsen the condition. Instead, consume more fruits and vegetables, engage in appropriate physical activity to enhance immunity, and pay attention to vulvar hygiene. Wash the area regularly at fixed times, and avoid using sanitary pads.
