Patient's question:
I have been divorced from my wife for many years. She has always been very healthy and takes good care of her hygiene. She has never had any gynecological diseases. However, recently, she has been feeling itchy in her vagina and often notices an increase in white discharge. Sometimes, it has a bad odor, and the discharge is yellow. At other times, there are cheesy-looking secretions.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of various vaginal inflammations:1. Symptoms of Trichomoniasis:
- Increased vaginal discharge, creamy or yellowish, sometimes purulent, often foamy with a foul odor. In severe cases, bloody discharge may occur.
- Dysuria, frequent urination, and hematuria.
- Harm: It can lead to secondary infections such as trichomoniasis of the urethra, cystitis, and pyelonephritis. Since trichomonads can absorb sperm, they may cause infertility and affect sexual life.
2. Symptoms of Candidal Vaginitis:
- Itching of the external genitalia.
- Burning pain in the external genitalia and vagina.
- Increased vaginal discharge, resembling cottage cheese. Sometimes accompanied by frequent urination.
The daily treatment for gynecological disease patients primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins while paying attention to their diet, eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Gynecological disease patients can recover quickly!
