Patient's question:
I used to have candidiasis of the vagina, but I have recovered after treatment. A month later, a follow-up examination did not detect any yeast. Recently, I have noticed an increase in leukorrhea, which is cloudy and white, and mild itching in the external genital area. Am I suffering from vaginitis again?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal white discharge with external vaginal itching is generally caused by bacterial vaginosis due to infection. Since you have had sexual activity before, it might be due to unhygienic sexual practices and cross-infection. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and ultrasound examination. After diagnosis, you can use Fuyanjie or baking soda water for cleaning, (killing bacteria treatment).
