Patient's question:
[Condition Description: The gynecological examination only shows a slight inflammation, but there is a lot of discharge, and the color is not normal either. For two or three days after the menstrual period, the discharge appears coffee-colored.]Doctor's answer:
[Condition Analysis: 1. Change underwear frequently and maintain hygieneWomen should change and wash their underwear often. Do not use sanitary pads as a substitute for changing underwear. Underwear should not be washed with other clothes and should be cleaned with underwear soap. Hang underwear in the sun to ensure they are clean and tidy.
2. Avoid excessive washing of the lower vagina
The vagina has its own self-cleaning function. If cleaning solutions are frequently used to wash the vaginal area, it can disrupt the vaginal flora, making it easier for bacteria to infect the vagina and causing abnormal discharge.
3. Joint treatment for couples
If a woman is infected with candidal vaginitis, both partners need to be treated. Since men cannot directly feel the effects of this type of bacteria, they are often reluctant to seek treatment, which can lead to recurring pain and itching in the lower abdomen. In such cases, it is essential to persuade the husband to undergo treatment as well.
4. Pay attention to hygiene in public places
Avoid using clothing or bathtubs in public places. When staying overnight in public places, it is best to bring your own pajamas. Clean the washing machine frequently with hot water.
5. Dietary regulation
Abnormal discharge can be categorized into hot-type, spleen deficiency-type, and kidney deficiency-type. Depending on the cause of the abnormal discharge, dietary adjustments can be made. For example, women with hot-type abnormal discharge can consume white lotus seed and tofu stew; those with spleen deficiency-type abnormal discharge should eat more pepper and eggs; and for kidney deficiency-type abnormal discharge, lotus seed and goji berry porridge can be chosen to regulate the discharge.]
