Patient's question:
Hello! I want to ask if I haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up, and I have had sexual activity, but I have experienced abnormal vaginal discharge, and my menstrual period is not the normal color and is quite thin. Is there any way to help me get rid of this problem? I don't have time to go to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your symptoms are highly likely to be a case of vaginitis. Since you are about to have your period, treatment cannot be initiated at the moment. For the next few days, you can use warm water to clean the external genitalia daily, change your underwear frequently, and keep the external genitalia dry.Recommendation: After your period, you should have a routine vaginal discharge test done at the hospital. Based on the type of vaginitis, you can take medication for targeted treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual intercourse and consuming spicy foods.
