Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal for women to have discharge during their period?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea should be white, sometimes transparent, sometimes viscous, and odorless. Changes in leukorrhea characteristics are often closely related to vaginal infections or diseases of the reproductive system. Purulent leukorrhea with a foul odor, accompanied by itching and discomfort in the external genitalia, is often a sign of vaginitis. Hemorrhagic leukorrhea is more commonly associated with lesions of the cervix or uterus.Low progesterone refers to luteal insufficiency, where the corpus luteum fails to secrete sufficient progesterone or degenerates prematurely. Under medical advice, natural progesterone supplements can be taken, and foods like soy can be consumed to help increase progesterone levels. However, it cannot be obtained solely through diet, as the amount of progesterone in food is very low.
