Patient's question:
Increased white discharge with a faint fishy odor, even noticeable as leakage. It occurs five to six times a day, or even more. I have been checked at a local hospital, where they said it was cervical erosion. Treatment and effectiveness: Both oral and topical treatments were used, but there was no significant improvement. What help I am seeking: I want a healthy and refreshing feeling.Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea is the secretion of the female vagina, which is composed of the exudate of the vaginal mucosa, the secretion of the cervical glands, and the secretion of the endometrium. The amount of leukorrhea is often related to the level of estrogen. If leukorrhea shows abnormal conditions, some diseases can be detected, so women can often identify the cause of the disease early based on the subtle changes in leukorrhea. The diagnosis of leukorrhea mainly involves judging the odor, color, and consistency or amount of leukorrhea. Under normal circumstances, leukorrhea has no obvious odor, and once a noticeable odor appears, it should be taken seriously. Fishy odor: A portion of vaginitis is caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, and the leukorrhea has a special fishy odor. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and external genital moisture. Foul odor: Some anaerobic bacterial infections, trichomoniasis, or Haemophilus vaginalis-induced vaginitis
