Patient's question:
Last Friday, we had sex. On Saturday afternoon, brown discharge appeared with some blood streaks. On Sunday, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was menstrual irregularity and a bit of inflammation. He prescribed three medications and also a cream called "Kumen Soft Cream." Now, after taking the medication, my stomach feels uncomfortable after a while, and I have a feeling of abdominal bloating and nausea. What could be wrong?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering your condition, there may be vaginitis. Clinically, vaginitis is characterized by changes in the nature of vaginal discharge and external itching, burning, and pain. When the infection involves the urethra, symptoms such as urinary pain and urgency may occur. Common types of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis, among others. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
