Patient's question:
I was in my ovulation period a few days ago, and my vaginal discharge was abnormal, with a yellow-green color. But I took daily baths and changed my underwear frequently. I noticed that it has been improving, and there is almost no discharge anymore. Hello, with abnormal vaginal discharge, will it improve if I pay attention to hygiene? Now that I take daily baths and there is almost no discharge, do I still need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of abnormal leukorrhea, such as yellow or yellow-green discharge with an odor, often indicate a purulent bacterial infection in the vagina. It is commonly seen in conditions like acute or chronic cervicitis, endometritis, vaginitis, and others. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as lower back pain in addition to purulent leukorrhea. Specific diagnosis and treatment can be carried out at a hospital.In addition, during the treatment of abnormal leukorrhea, apart from immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive stress and anxiety, as this may hinder the complete recovery from abnormal leukorrhea and cause unnecessary complications.
