What is the reason for the presence of in the vagina?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask that my vagina has been discharging dark objects, similar to curd-like substances, for about a week. What could be the possible causes and how should it be treated? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

It could be a fungal vaginal infection. Use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to make it less conducive to fungal growth. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000-200,000 units each time, once a night, for a course of 10-14 days. Additionally, apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results.
