Patient's question:

Age
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Can sanitary pads be used every day? Also, regarding the white discharge test items: RT+BV+CT+NG, what do they refer to? WBC 12-16/171, Epithelial cells III
Current general condition: Increased white discharge, no odor, non-odorous. Sometimes it appears watery, sometimes creamy yellow. Using pads every day. Menstruation is normal, with a cycle of about 24 days. When lying down, I can feel a long, hard lump in the lower left abdomen. It doesn't hurt when pressed.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: If you change your underwear regularly, there is generally no need to use pads every day. If you do use pads, make sure they are of qualified quality.
RT means routine, BV means bacteria, CT means chlamydia, and NG means gonococcal Neisseria. Based on your symptoms, it could be considered cervical inflammation. It is recommended to actively treat the inflammation. Gynecological diseases not only affect a patient's life but can also lead to other gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar area clean.
