Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are clue cells?Doctor's answer:
Hello, clue cells can be observed in the white discharge smear of bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a non-inflammatory disease of the vaginal mucosa caused by a combination of pathogens such as Gardnerella and certain anaerobic bacteria. It is generally caused by a lack of personal hygiene. It may also be caused by kidney disease, so a renal function test is needed. You should follow a light diet and a low-sodium diet.
