Patient's question:
I was taking a bath last night when I noticed that my labia had acne, and my discharge had increased, turning yellow in color, along with a bad odor. I felt upset about what bad illness I might have, but I didn’t go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, nor did I dare to take any medication. Could you please explain what could be causing the acne on my labia and abnormal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, yellow discharge with a bad odor – these are typical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. It is recommended to rinse the external genital area with warm water and then apply metronidazole tablets vaginally. Use the medication for three consecutive courses, with each course lasting ten days. During menstruation, stop vaginal medication and focus on treatment after the period ends. Avoid sexual intercourse during the treatment period. Maintain good hygiene habits, change underwear frequently to prevent inflammation.
