Patient's question:
I wash my external genital area every day, and because of excessive discharge, I need to change my underwear daily. The discharge is sometimes white discharge and sometimes a yellow liquid. Is this a disease? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal discharge naturally changes with the menstrual cycle, sometimes being more or less, sometimes white or yellow. It doesn't necessarily indicate inflammation. Typically, inflammation is accompanied by symptoms such as a foul odor, purulent discharge, and lower abdominal pain. You can monitor it on your own. If it's not inflammation, treatment is not needed. Even if there is inflammation, you should see a doctor for diagnosis to determine the type of infection, as different infections require different medications. Do not buy antibiotics or use suppositories on your own.
