What is the reason for the recent light brown discharge?

Patient's question:

I used to have vaginitis and cervical erosion. My period was a week ago, and recently my vaginal discharge has been brown. I don't know why, and I don't have any other symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

Considering you may have a vaginal infection, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginal infection for targeted treatment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and the use of soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. It is best to come to the hospital in person for a check-up to confirm the type of vaginal infection. Clinical doctors will provide medication guidance based on your condition.
