Patient's question:
On November 2, I had an abortion at the Provincial Hospital under anesthesia. It took about more than ten days for the blood to gradually subside. During this time, I went to the hospital to ask the doctor, and he said it was normal. Now, it seems my leukorrhea is abnormal—it's like water, but the color is like pus, and there's quite a lot of it. I'm afraid it might be some kind of disease, like inflammation. There's no abdominal pain or such symptoms, so how could this happen? Before the abortion, during a gynecological examination, the doctor said I had mild cervical erosion. I would like to ask the doctor, is the watery, pus-like leukorrhea caused by this? How should I be treated? I'm very worried. Please help me, doctor!Doctor's answer:
Purulent leukorrhea, yellow or yellow-green in color, viscous or foamy in consistency, with a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation, with trichomoniasis being the most common type, often accompanied by external genital itching. It can also be seen in chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, endometrial effusion, or the presence of foreign bodies in the vagina. It is recommended to undergo a leukorrhea routine examination to confirm the type of infection before treatment. Personal hygiene should be maintained, underwear should be changed frequently, and used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun.
