Patient's question:
Since having my child, my menstrual period has been very light during this period, and it's always brown in color, which is abnormal for blood. Recently, I had a lot of leukorrhea, mostly yellowish-white and viscous solid. It had a bad odor. In these past few days, there was itching between my legs first, and then when I touched it, it was small red bumps. Tonight, when I looked, they had already turned into pus. It's very painful. Since it's nighttime and it's not convenient to see a doctor, I'd like to ask an online doctor what these symptoms could be?Doctor's answer:
If you are currently breastfeeding after giving birth, it is normal for your menstrual flow to be light. This is caused by high prolactin levels in the body. Generally, your menstrual cycle will return to normal two to three months after stopping breastfeeding.Itching, rashes, and ulcers are caused by vaginitis, which is related to poor hygiene habits. It is recommended to use Jie Er Yin to clean the external genital area. If the condition does not improve, you should go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. After diagnosing the type of vaginitis, medication can be inserted into the vagina for treatment.
