Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what it means when the uterus hurts during sex and there's a smelly discharge?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological inflammation can be mild without obvious discomfort, only detectable during a gynecological examination. In severe cases, there may be increased vaginal discharge, which can be purulent or bloody, with a foul odor. The discharge may irritate the external genitalia, causing itching. Severe cases may also present with lower abdominal heaviness and pain, which worsens after sexual intercourse, or discomfort such as frequent urination. There are many types of microorganisms that can cause gynecological inflammation, including bacteria, fungi, trichomonas, mixed infections, chlamydia, or mycoplasma infections. The specific type of inflammation needs to be confirmed after examination.
