How to check for abnormal leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

After every menstrual period, my leukorrhea becomes abundant. I searched online and it is said to be a normal phenomenon. My best friend is in the same situation as me. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said her leukorrhea was abnormal. I don't know if it is a normal phenomenon. I would like to consult how to conduct a thorough examination of abnormal leukorrhea.

Doctor's answer:

General examination of abnormal leukorrhea can be identified by color and odor. Except for the amount of leukorrhea, normal leukorrhea is mostly creamy white or light yellow, odorless, and it only increases continuously during ovulation. If yellow leukorrhea with an odor reappears, it indicates an inflammatory condition and requires prompt treatment. This situation is often caused by infections due to neglecting personal hygiene.
