Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy in the external genital area off and on for these past few months. My underwear has some dirty yellow discharge, and even after my period, there are still streaks of red for several more days. I went to the hospital for a leukorrhea test, and the report showed positive hydrogen peroxide concentration. I don't know what that means, so I'm asking for advice.What kind of help do I need: What does a positive hydrogen peroxide result mean?
Doctor's answer:
The routine test for leukorrhea showed a positive hydrogen peroxide concentration test, which is an issue of abnormal leukorrhea. In fact, if you have the above results, there is no need to worry, as it is just a bacterial infection. It can be diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis. It is a common type of vaginitis, mostly related to changes in the vaginal environment, and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, treatment requires both partners to be treated.
