What is the reason for having a lot of white discharge that looks like cottage cheese?

Patient's question:

Occasional vulvar itching, excessive vaginal discharge, resembling curd-like texture. Previously, a thorough examination revealed cervical erosion.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, an increase in leukorrhea with a cottage cheese-like consistency accompanied by external genital itching, the primary consideration is candidal vulvovaginitis. To diagnose cervical erosion, a careful examination with a vaginal speculum is required, as it cannot be determined solely from your description. The above are speculations. To confirm the specific nature of the inflammation, a routine leukorrhea test should be conducted at a gynecological department of the hospital.
Regardless of the type of vaginitis or cervical inflammation, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited during treatment to avoid interfering with the therapeutic effect or causing cross-infection. For severe cases of cervical erosion, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment.
