Previous diagnoses and treatment history
Doctor's answer:
Three days after menstruation, it is recommended to have a gynecological examination, including abdominal ultrasound, and test for vaginal discharge to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene. Inflammation may be severe. Additionally, be mindful of cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to clean 2-3 times a day, and it should be done from front to back using lukewarm salt water. Overly frequent cleaning can actually increase the risk of infection.The occurrence of abnormal vaginal discharge not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
