What is the reason for white foreign bodies in the vagina?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: There is a white, paste-like substance in my vagina. Is this normal? If not, why does this occur, and what could cause it? Can it be treated? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Your symptoms are caused by damp-heat, and it is recommended to take Baizai Pills and Erding Granules orally, and use Qingbai Jieshen Cleansing Liquid for external washing. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is also advisable to have a discharge test at the hospital. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up at the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
