Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Itching in the groin area, excessive vaginal discharge, and a strong odor (very heavy) that can be smelled by oneself. The odor has been present since July of this year, and it can be detected more easily in hot weather. Looking for some good medication to treat this.Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the amount of leukorrhea is not excessive. If the characteristics of leukorrhea, including its quality, quantity, color, and odor, undergo abnormal changes, it indicates the presence of a certain disease. For girls, abnormal leukorrhea is commonly seen in external genital and vaginal inflammation, such as purulent bacterial infections, where the leukorrhea increases in volume, appears yellow or yellow-green, resembles pus, and has a foul odor. If this condition persists for a prolonged period, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of vaginal foreign bodies. During candidiasis and trichomoniasis infections, leukorrhea appears grayish-white and foamy. Taking estrogen-containing drugs for menstrual regulation may result in a large amount of colorless, transparent, viscous leukorrhea. At times, excessive exercise or extreme fatigue can cause pelvic congestion, leading to temporary leukorrhea increase. Regardless of the cause of abnormal leukorrhea, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment.
