Patient's question:
Intermittent vaginal itching, but not severe, occasionally itchy, yellowish discharge, no odor, normal amount. In March and May, I had routine vaginal discharge tests at the hospital, both showing degree 2 cleanliness, no trichomonas or Candida. Our local hospital does not offer clue cell tests. The doctors said everything was fine and recommended external washing with wet itch liquid or similar products.At the end of July, the discharge contained faint yellow, (tofu-like) small particles, and the vaginal itching was much worse than before. I went to the hospital again for a routine vaginal discharge test and a cervical inflammation smear test. The discharge diagnosis was still degree 2 cleanliness with no trichomonas or Candida, but the doctor said I had Candida symptoms and prescribed medication. At the same time, I developed many heat-toxin rashes on my body, with heavy damp-heat. I then consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and started taking herbal medicine, temporarily postponing the treatment for Candida. A few days later, the discharge no longer contained the (tofu-like) particles.
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, you have an increased amount of leukorrhea, which is yellow in color, accompanied by external genital itching. This situation is primarily considered to be caused by vaginitis or vulvitis. Currently, simply stating this cannot determine the specific pathogen involved, making it difficult to determine a treatment plan. To avoid (blind treatment), it is recommended to first undergo a leukorrhea routine examination to identify the pathogen before deciding on a treatment plan.Advice: If you are unwilling to undergo testing, you can practice daily local hygiene at home. You can use Jieryin (a vaginal antiseptic) or potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. At the same time, change your underwear frequently, drink more water, and avoid scratching. See if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms do not subside, it is best to first undergo testing before taking medication. This can ensure a complete cure and prevent recurrence.
