Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs recently, with pain in my lower abdomen and also discomfort during urination. My friend mentioned that gynecological inflammation can cause abnormal vaginal discharge. I want to have a baby, but I'm worried it might be affected. So, I want to ask if it's still possible to get pregnant with abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal white discharge is generally considered to be a case of vaginitis, which can interfere with delivery to some extent. Timely follow-up and a thorough examination of routine white discharge tests are necessary. Vaginitis can be of various types, such as fungal, trichomonal, or bacterial. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Since different types of vaginitis require different medications, strict prohibition of sexual activity during treatment is essential. To maintain external genital hygiene, avoid spicy foods.Abnormal changes in the amount of white discharge. If a woman has not menstruated within 7 days after intercourse, it is likely due to pregnancy. Generally, after conception, vaginal discharge and the amount of white discharge may increase. This is a normal physiological response in women. It is recommended to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination at a regular professional hospital.
