Patient's question:
In the past two months, the vaginal discharge has had a faint musty odor, with a slightly yellow color. Occasionally, it has been quite strong. There are no other discomforting symptoms. There are granular substances around the urethral and vaginal openings, which have been present for half a year and have not increased. In recent months, menstruation has been irregular. The last period arrived 15 days early, and this time it has been delayed by three days. No tests have been conducted. Sexual activity has been ongoing for one year.Doctor's answer:
Hello, does the vaginal discharge look like cottage cheese? If so, it's likely candidiasis! If the vaginal discharge has a fishy odor, it could be bacterial vaginosis! If there's foamy discharge, it might be trichomoniasis! Specific tests like a vaginal discharge test are needed for confirmation! The granular substances around the urethral and vaginal openings are caused by inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, this inflammatory stimulus will disappear! It's recommended to get an endocrine panel test around the third day of your menstrual bleeding to identify the cause of your menstrual irregularities, and then undergo systematic treatment! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
