Patient's question:
Last month, vulvar itchingDoctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no odor. Its secretion volume and texture are influenced by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. The vagina of a healthy person has an acidic environment, making it generally resistant to infections. However, since the vagina is open to the external environment, it can easily become infected when the body's resistance is low, or during unclean sexual activity and poor hygiene. Therefore, if a woman notices an unexplained increase in leukorrhea or changes in its color, texture, or odor, she should be alert and seek a detailed gynecological examination and routine secretion tests for a clear diagnosis. Then, follow medical advice to treat the symptoms and underlying causes. If necessary, both partners should be treated simultaneously. It is crucial not to self-medicate blindly to cover up the actual condition.
