Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally noticed white, chunky substances in the vaginal area. After finishing the shower, I used a mirror to examine it carefully and found them inside the vaginal opening as well. I searched online and found mentions of something called candidal vulvovaginitis. What should I do if my abnormal discharge is clumpy, and it looks like milky?Doctor's answer:
It might be symptoms caused by vaginal candidiasis. A thorough examination can lead to oral and topical medication treatment. The treatment course generally lasts about two months. During the treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and seek medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Both parties should pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia before and after sexual activity. Rest more, enhance nutrition, and maintain a cheerful mood to boost immunity. Avoid extremely cold and irritating spicy foods. In addition to medication treatment for abnormal vaginal discharge, patients should also pay attention to their diet to avoid spicy foods. Patients should also pay attention to choosing a Grade 3-A hospital for treatment to obtain good therapeutic effects.
