Patient's question:
After taking medication for an abortion, I have itchy external genitalia. Later, the vaginal discharge became like curd, with a bad odor. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when leukorrhea reappears in a curd-like consistency, accompanied by external genital itching or a foul odor, it is most likely due to the possibility of candidiasis vaginitis. This condition involves a Candida infection, which is quite persistent and prone to recurrence. It is best to visit a gynecological department for a routine leukorrhea examination to diagnose candidiasis vaginitis, cervical erosion, and other conditions. During treatment, it is important to clean the perineal area with lukewarm water and change underwear and socks frequently. Vaginitis poses significant harm to patients, so if symptoms are noticed, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary habits should be given close attention.
