Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does it matter if a woman's labia minora is white?Doctor's answer:
This symptom is characterized by a lot of white discharge in the labia minora, which is related to personal hygiene. It is suspected to be candidiasis of the vagina. It is recommended to conduct a laboratory examination of vaginal secretions for a definitive diagnosis. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, frequently use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, and change underwear frequently. Avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths temporarily after medication. For those with excessive mucus, a 3%–4% soda solution can be used for cleaning, or 5% potassium dichromate and 20%–40% silver nitrate can also be used.
