Patient's question:
NameAge (Married)
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
Doctor, hello! I have had excessive white discharge with a light yellow color and a very strong odor, sometimes with an acidic smell, for 4-5 years. In the past, I had a white discharge culture done at the hospital, and the results showed: moderate cleanliness, which the doctor said was vaginal inflammation. They prescribed some medication and also recommended some hygiene practices, but none of them have been effective. Today, I am preparing to go to the hospital for another check-up. Please give me some guidance so I don’t go through unnecessary steps.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your description, you have vaginitis, which tends to recur. Treatment must be completed for the full course. You can have a bacterial culture of vaginal discharge to confirm the pathogen for targeted treatment. Additionally, you should pay attention to the following:1. Maintain personal hygiene, keep the external genital area clean, change underwear frequently, and use personal hygiene products exclusively for yourself.
2. Strengthen public health facilities, such as public restrooms, swimming pools, and bathtubs. Take precautions to prevent cross-infection in public places.
3. Both partners should receive treatment simultaneously and be checked for recovery. Avoid sexual activity during treatment.
4. Use vaginal suppositories correctly under the guidance of a doctor. When mixing topical solutions, pay attention to the concentration.
5. Disinfect frequently contacted items during treatment, such as towels and underwear. Boiling for 5–10 minutes can eliminate parasites.
6. The standard for recovery is a negative vaginal discharge test after three menstrual cycles.
7. Strengthen nutrition, exercise regularly, and enhance your body's immune resistance.
