Patient's question:
Patient Age:23
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: I experience severe pain during every menstrual period, especially on the first day. It is also rare for me to have no pain by the fourth day. My vaginal discharge is yellow, not clear in color. Is this normal? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Your condition is primarily considered to be vulvovaginal candidiasis. It can be caused by factors such as the overgrowth of vaginal commensal bacteria, unsafe sexual practices, contact with contaminated clothing or bedding, and public baths. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching, abnormal vaginal discharge odor, vaginal burning, and dyspareunia.Recommendations: It is recommended to visit a gynecology department, undergo a routine urine test and a routine vaginal discharge test, to assist in diagnosis and treatment. If diagnosed, topical miconazole suppositories or nystatin suppositories can be used, while oral medications such as ketoconazole or itraconazole can be taken for treatment.
