Patient's question:
About 10 days ago, I had some white particles in my labia. After the doctor prescribed medication, which included topical cream and oral medication, the condition improved. I still apply the cream daily. Yesterday, I noticed some itching in the groin area, and this time it's the vagina. The particles can be wiped off with toilet paper. What is this, and what should I do?Doctor's answer:
If the leukorrhea is like curd, it is candidiasis. However, some patients' leukorrhea is not curd-like, and a careful examination of the leukorrhea routine test also shows candidiasis. Leukorrhea with bubbles indicates trichomoniasis, which is an infection caused by a flagellated parasite that can also cause vaginal itching. The characteristics of the itching are that it starts to be severe right after getting into bed, as the trichomonads become very active. You see which one you resemble more—the former is more common, while the latter usually has a history of staying in hotels, as hotel toilets can have trichomonads. It's best to go to the hospital for a leukorrhea test to diagnose and treat the condition.
