Increased white discharge, yellow in color with a bad odor - what illness is it?

Patient's question:

Patient is a 22-year-old female with a previously good health status. The current condition includes: 1. Increased yellow vaginal discharge, 2. A foul odor.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis is generally caused by a lack of vitamins, frequent use of medications to wash public towels, some anti-inflammatory drugs, pregnant women, and others. It is a common gynecological infectious disease that causes discomfort such as itching and burning, and candidal vulvovaginitis always occurs. Changing the pH of the vagina, such as using alkaline medications to wash the vagina, can be used, such as washing the vagina with 2-4% soda solution, to change the living environment of the fungus. For patients, if there is an increase in leukorrhea and the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of increased leukorrhea. In addition, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
