What is the cause of the smelly, itchy discharge with white-like?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Hello, doctor, please help me. Every time I finish my period, my underwear always gets wet—is it discharge or urine? I also have a lot of cottage cheese-like discharge with a slightly unpleasant odor, and itching in the vagina. Later, I bought (Fuyinjie) to wash it, and the itching went away, but there was a lot of yellow discharge with a strong odor. Please give me some advice, thank you, waiting online?? Also, my period has been coming very frequently these past six months.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The discharge is of poor quality with a slightly unpleasant odor, and the white, yellowish discharge may indicate candidal vaginitis. A discharge test can be performed to confirm the diagnosis, followed by targeted medication.
For treatment, you can take oral metronidazole, use a vinegar solution of chlorhexidine to rinse the vagina, or insert metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets or one metronidazole tablet vaginally. Use the medication after rinsing the vagina each night. Additionally, maintain cleanliness of the external genital area during treatment to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Wash the external genital area daily and change underwear frequently.
