Patient's question:
During this period, I've been having some heat issues. When using the restroom for a bowel movement, there's white discharge from the vagina. She's single and has never had sexual intercourse, but she has engaged in masturbation. I'm wondering if this phenomenon is related to masturbation. Additionally, I'm asking if it's normal to have white discharge without having had sexual intercourse.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, women have two periods of normal leukorrhea each month, one during ovulation, which is usually clear and stretchy, and the other before menstruation, which is white and viscous, related to hormone levels. If it's during these two periods and there's no unpleasant odor, it's normal. Otherwise, you should pay attention.The occurrence of abnormal leukorrhea not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a leukorrhea test at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, eating light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
