Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my husband and I had sex. Halfway through, I noticed cheesy-looking discharge. It wasn't much and had no odor. So I want to know what causes abnormal cheesy discharge.Doctor's answer:
Sewage-like discharge may be a symptom of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to see a doctor to check if there is a possibility of fungal infection. If it is candidal vaginitis, first use an alkaline solution such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, changing the vaginal pH to make it more favorable for fungal growth. After rinsing, 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 cream to the external genitalia for better results. For stubborn cases, oral ketoconazole or miconazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or topical miconazole can be used. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment.
