Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After sexual contact, there is a sensation of redness and swelling around the vaginal opening, particularly below the urethral opening. There is also some itching extending from the vaginal opening. The vaginal discharge has changed from egg white-like to small granular particles (approximately 2 mm in diameter), with a slightly pale yellow color, and a faint greenish hue. Please help explain this. Additionally, could you please advise on the potential impact on future life?Medical history: There was a previous episode of similar symptoms, which improved after taking Cefixime orally. This time, the condition is milder, possibly indicating a recurrence. Please help with the supplementary question regarding the first issue: What is the procedure for a routine vaginal discharge test?
Doctor's answer:
Hello!For a routine leukorrhea test, if you are a virgin, the doctor will only use one cotton swab to collect a small amount of leukorrhea from the vaginal opening for testing. If you are not a virgin, a speculum will generally be used, which may cause a slight sensation of pressure and discomfort, but it is. If a duckbill clamp is used, the doctor can further examine your cervical condition, which may cause a bit of discomfort but is not painful. Please relax your mind.
It is recommended to undergo a routine leukorrhea test at a reputable public hospital for more accurate and safer results.
