Why is there abnormal yellow discharge with a bad odor?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling a dull pain in the lower abdomen, and there have been some abnormalities in vaginal discharge. The discharge is yellow and has an odor, but there is no itching or pain. However, my menstrual cycle is still relatively normal. Now, with so many gynecological issues, I'm worried about potential hidden risks. What symptoms are yellow, odorous vaginal discharge?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, this symptom can be associated with various gynecological infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, and cervical inflammation (excluding vaginal inflammation). You currently need to undergo a thorough examination of a routine vaginal discharge test, cervical screening, and ultrasound. Based on the examination results, active symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and wear cotton underwear. Wash and dry underwear and clothing in the sun. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
