Patient's question:
One of my close friends, who went for a health check-up the day before yesterday, was found to have abnormal vaginal discharge. They always smell the odor between their legs while sitting, and they wash and change their underwear every night, but it has no effect. The discharge is abundant and very thick, yellow in color, with severe lower back pain and weakness in all four limbs. The doctor said this is due to abnormal vaginal discharge.Hello, what specific examinations are included in the detailed check-up for abnormal vaginal discharge?
Doctor's answer:
When candidiasis of the vagina recurs, the abnormal symptoms of leukorrhea are yellow or white in color, with a thick or thin consistency. Clinical diagnostic symptoms include itching, burning pain, and urinary pain, with the external genitalia often appearing red and swollen. Abnormal leukorrhea should be primarily examined with the following amine test. Experts note that the leukorrhea of bacterial vaginosis patients may have a fishy odor, which is caused by the dissolution of amines in the leukorrhea after being alkalinized with potassium hydroxide. Therefore, attention should be paid to the amine test when leukorrhea is abnormal. During treatment, it is essential to rest and avoid overexertion, maintain hygiene and cleanliness in the perineal area, avoid sexual activity, and refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods. Targeted medication based on examination results generally leads to a rapid self-recovery.
