Abnormal leukorrhea, strong odor - what's the reason?

Patient's question:

Hello, what is the reason for abnormal vaginal discharge and a strong odor? I always feel like there is an unpleasant smell in my lower abdomen, and my vaginal discharge is also a bit abnormal. Sometimes it's white, sometimes it's yellow, and sometimes it contains red blood cells. What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal odor and multiple occurrences of red blood vessels are due to vaginal inflammation, which has led to minimal peeling from long-term irritation. The presence of odor in leukorrhea indicates inflammation. You should first undergo a thorough examination of leukorrhea and a colposcopy. It is also recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound of the cervix to check for pelvic fluid accumulation, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, and endometritis. These inflammatory conditions can all cause abnormal leukorrhea, and multiple occurrences usually require medication for symptomatic treatment.
