Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, I haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it myself, not knowing if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very scared that my condition might worsen. What does "red and white discharge" signify?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Leukorrhea with mixed red and white color is a term in Traditional Chinese Medicine, referring to a condition in women where the discharge is a mixture of red and white in color and has an unpleasant odor. It is often caused by liver stagnation turning into heat, spleen deficiency accumulating dampness, damp-heat flowing downward, damaging the Chong and Ren meridians and the Dài meridian, leading to the mixture of leukorrhea with blood from the collateral channels, resulting in leukorrhea with mixed red and white color.??????If you experience increased leukorrhea, itching of the external genitalia, yellow leukorrhea with a bad odor, consider it as a symptom of vaginitis, which is also related to cervical erosion. It is recommended that you take anti-cervicitis tablets, Fuyankang tablets, and metronidazole tablets under the guidance of a doctor, following the instructions. Use Daktarine suppositories for vaginal treatment, which can gradually lead to recovery.
