Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have a discharge, and I need to use sanitary pads every day. The discharge is light yellow. The most alarming thing is that during sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, his penis also has discharge, and sometimes it's quite abundant.What disease is this? What medicine should I take? I had an abortion last year. Does this have anything to do with it?
Please answer as soon as possible. Thank you very much~!
Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea appears milky white or light yellow, purulent, with a large amount, and has a foul odor. It is often accompanied by abdominal pain and is generally caused by chronic cervical inflammation or endometritis of the cervix.Leukorrhea turns yellow or yellow-green, thin and foamy, or like rice water, with a grayish-white color and a foul odor, mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.
Mostly viscous in texture, sometimes it can also be thin. The typical appearance is milky white, like curd, or like white sheet-like or block-like curd, mostly caused by fungal infection.
It is recommended to have a routine leukorrhea examination at the hospital for a clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
