Patient's question:
In the past month, my private area has again shown uncomfortable symptoms. There is excessive discharge of leukorrhea, and the color is not good, slightly yellow. Besides a mild odor, sometimes my lower abdomen aches, especially a few days before my period. I went to the hospital and had a thorough examination. They said I have cervical inflammation. Does cervical inflammation cause abnormal leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Cervical inflammation can lead to abnormal vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge is secreted by the vagina and cervix, and either the vagina or cervix can cause an increase in discharge after inflammation occurs. The thinning of vaginal discharge is not only related to inflammation but also to the menstrual cycle. Just after menstruation ends, the amount of discharge is very small, but as time passes, the amount gradually increases, and the texture becomes increasingly thin. During the ovulation period, which is the time between two menstrual periods, the discharge is abundant, stretchy, and resembles egg white. Afterward, the amount of discharge increases again, and it becomes thicker. For severe cervical inflammation patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication to treat the condition, as this may worsen the situation.
