Patient's question:
I currently have yellowish discharge that is particularly purulent and smelly. I change my underwear every day, but after a while, I can smell my own body odor strongly. I don't dare get too close to others because I feel extremely embarrassed when they smell it. I've also thought about getting a thorough check-up in a few days.Doctor's answer:
Yellow and foul-smelling leukorrhea is often a sign of a sexually transmitted infection and is commonly seen in vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, and acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Purulent leukorrhea: Leukorrhea appears yellow or greenish and is often accompanied by symptoms such as general weakness and low-grade fever, which may indicate acute vaginitis or cervicitis. Inflammation suggests a bacterial infection.
Patients with abnormal leukorrhea can take targeted medication while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and to refrain from binge eating in daily dietary habits.
