Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what it means if a mucus-like substance appears in the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, it is likely a case of candidal vulvovaginitis, which is related to a Candida infection. It is recommended to undergo further examination of vaginal discharge. Treatment suggestions include rinsing the vagina with sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by inserting Daktarine suppositories. During the onset and treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area, and avoid scratching. It is highly possible that you may have genital herpes, which is one type of sexually transmitted disease. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to avoid transmission.
