Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for a long time, and it's been 21 days already. My vaginal discharge is also quite excessive. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant or if there are other reasons. What kind of medicine should I take in this situation? What should I pay attention to in my daily diet?Doctor's answer:
There may be a phenomenon of increased leukorrhea before menstruation. This is because when menstruation is approaching, pelvic congestion becomes more severe, and the blood flow to the cervix and vagina is also higher than usual. Therefore, the natural secretion of the vagina naturally increases.Additionally, some young women may experience continuous leukorrhea during the ovulation period between two menstrual cycles or after exertion. Warm water can be used to rinse the external genitalia to maintain vaginal cleanliness and prevent inflammation.
If leukorrhea still persists after menstruation or becomes purulent with a foul odor, it is abnormal, and medical attention should be sought promptly for gynecological examination and treatment. In fact, having increased leukorrhea is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and appropriate treatment is administered, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
