Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Lately, there has been blood discharge from my vagina, especially when I wipe after urinating, the bloodstains on the toilet paper are sticky, and my external genital area is itchy with many small bumps on both sides of the vulva. Since it is not yet time for my period, this blood discharge should not be menstruation. So, what could be causing this continuous blood discharge for a week?First follow-up question: Additionally, my boyfriend kissed and sucked on my vulva, and the next day, I noticed blood streaks in my vaginal discharge. Could this be due to excessive stimulation causing the bleeding?
Second follow-up question: Is this condition serious or normal?
Doctor's answer:
Consider that you may have bacterial vaginosis, and you can use metronidazole vaginal suppositories for a course of treatment! Pay attention to hygiene, bathe frequently, change clothes often, and wear loose, breathable cotton underwear! You can drink some motherwort granules after your period to help expel accumulated blood, or eat more blood-activating foods like brown sugar, red dates, black chicken, and eel glue to promote the smooth discharge of accumulated blood.
