Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my husband and I had sexual intercourse. Halfway through, I noticed cheesy-looking discharge, which wasn't much and had no odor. So I want to know what causes abnormal white discharge that looks like cheese.Doctor's answer:
Sloppy-looking discharge may be a symptom of candidiasis. It is recommended to see a doctor to determine if there is a possibility of fungal transmission. If it is candidiasis, first use an alkaline solution such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, changing the vaginal pH to make it more favorable for fungal growth. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, 100,000-200,000 units each time, once a night, for a course of 10-14 days. Apply 3% miconazole ointment to the external genitalia for better results. For stubborn cases, oral itraconazole or fluconazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or topical miconazole can be used. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment.
