Desired Help: What could be the cause? Is there any way to address this?
Doctor's answer:
Excessive white discharge may be considered a sign of vaginitis. Normal white discharge is egg-white-like or white paste-like, with a small amount and no odor. It is recommended to consult a gynecologist who will use a cotton swab to collect vaginal secretions for a routine test of vaginal discharge and to undergo microecological treatment. For irregular menstruation, it is suggested to take a fasting blood test for the six sex hormones during the second to third day of the menstrual period to understand the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian function. If the menstrual period is delayed, blood tests can be taken at any time, and the results can be combined with the findings of a color Doppler ultrasound examination for judgment. A combination of dietary regulation and traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be adopted. The most important aspect of endocrine disorders is to balance the endocrine system. It is essential to develop good eating habits, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, and drink plenty of water to replenish the body's necessary fluids. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as greasy foods.
