Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Recently, there has been frequent sexual activity with my husband. Does this cause an increase in leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Normal leukorrhea is colorless, transparent, or creamy white mucus-like in consistency, acidic with a pH of 4-5, odorless, and measures 0.5 to 1 CL. It generally does not discharge outside the body and primarily serves to lubricate the vagina and external genitalia. If the leukorrhea volume exceeds the normal range, or if changes occur in color, consistency, or odor, it may indicate inflammation. It is recommended to seek medical examination and maintain external genital hygiene and dryness in daily life. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
