Patient's question:

Please advise the experts.Past Treatment and Effectiveness: I have been treated before, but none of the treatments have been effective.
Help Needed: I would like to consult a doctor to find the best treatment method.
Doctor's answer:
The white discharge secreted by women should be colorless, transparent, and odorless, with a viscous consistency under normal circumstances. Some women's white discharge may resemble rice water, known as watery white discharge, which indicates an abnormal condition in the woman's body. Women with watery white discharge are often suffering from spleen deficiency with heavy dampness and heart yang deficiency with qi and blood stagnation. If the watery white discharge has no odor, it may be caused by cervical inflammation or vaginal inflammation, suggesting that the woman may have gynecological diseases such as cervical inflammation, pelvic inflammation, vaginal inflammation, trichomoniasis, or candidiasis. If the watery white discharge has an odor, it may be due to advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal fibroids with infection. In any case, if watery white discharge occurs, especially in postmenopausal women, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. Do not self-medicate with medication.
