Vaginal discharge with a strong odor, how to treat

Patient's question:

I'm not sure if something is wrong with my body. My vaginal discharge has suddenly increased, and the odor is also very strong. It's not my ovulation period either. This doesn't make sense, and I'm very anxious. I'm worried that I might have some gynecological disease. Could you please tell me what factors or causes this could be and what I should do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to your description: Considering you may have a vaginal infection, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginal infection for targeted treatment. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, wear breathable and loose-fitting underwear, and avoid alcohol as well as spicy or allergenic foods. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, bathe more frequently, and maintain cleanliness. I hope my answer is helpful to you!
