Patient's question:

However, recently I noticed some differences in my leukorrhea. It has been recurring frequently, accompanied by pain, and sometimes a faint odor can be detected. The assistance I need: How to quickly and effectively treat abnormal leukorrhea.Doctor's answer:
When experiencing abnormal leukorrhea, do not attempt to self-treat the vulva with cleansing agents. Sometimes, washing more frequently can lead to increased leukorrhea and worsening itching of the external genitalia. In cases of abnormal leukorrhea, it is essential to seek medical attention for a follow-up examination. The doctor will collect your leukorrhea for laboratory testing to determine the underlying cause of the abnormality.Abnormal leukorrhea can be managed with Huahong Pian (a traditional Chinese herbal preparation), which is primarily used for treating chronic inflammatory conditions such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and endometritis. For your condition, it is advisable to have your leukorrhea tested at a hospital to diagnose the specific type of vaginitis before deciding on medication. Avoid self-medication in the meantime.
