Patient's question:
After taking the medication, a hospital's routine vaginal discharge test showed complete self-healing. A few days after the self-healing, the vaginal discharge had some clumps, but there was no itching, no odor, and the amount was not significant. The doctor said it was due to excessive internal dampness and not a recurrence of the condition. He prescribed many Chinese herbal medicines to reduce the dampness. Later, the vaginal discharge returned to normal, but occasionally there would be a small yellow clump, with no other symptoms.Now, a month after stopping the medication, the vaginal discharge is similar to a paste or small particles, with a small amount, which is normal and has no odor. The previous yellow discharge has disappeared. This situation reappeared about a week before the menstrual period, with a slight, intermittent itching. I don’t know if it’s real itching or just due to excessive tension, as there are no other adverse reactions. Therefore, I’m not sure? I’m so upset. It definitely can’t be a recurrence of the condition. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it’s itchy, and it’s abnormal vaginal discharge.
Doctor's answer:
You currently need to adjust your mindset first. According to your description, it should not be a recurrence of the illness. Although candidal vaginitis is difficult to treat, as long as you persevere with treatment, it can heal on its own. As long as you pay attention to hygiene in your daily life and ensure frequent cleaning and changing of underwear, it may not necessarily lead to recurrence. Your leukorrhea is basically normal now, and many people experience an increase in leukorrhea during ovulation and before their period.
