What should I do if the white discharge is purulent and accompanied by external genital itching?

Patient's question:

Leukorrhea is excessive (usually it doesn't flow naturally and needs to be squeezed out), and it is purulent, sometimes accompanied by external genital itching.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the abnormal vaginal discharge and external itching you are experiencing are mostly caused by gynecological infections such as vaginitis or cervicitis, although it cannot be ruled out that they may be due to skin allergies. It is recommended that you still get a check-up to confirm the diagnosis. Because there are many types of vaginitis, including bacterial, trichomonal, fungal, and yeast infections, it is difficult to make a judgment based solely on your description. Just get a routine vaginal discharge test, and you will usually get the results.
