Patient's question:
For the past half month, every time I finish using the toilet, I make sure to clean myself thoroughly, but my underwear is still always wet. There's no odor, no color, and no sticky residue—just a bit like water, as if it's leaking out on its own. I don't know what's going on, and now I'm starting to suspect I might have a gynecological condition.What kind of help do I need: Why is my underwear always wet?
Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be leukorrhea. Leukorrhea is a viscous white liquid discharged from the vagina of women. It is composed of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrial secretions, exudate from vaginal mucosa, and shed vaginal epithelial cells. Leukorrhea contains lactic acid bacteria, lysozyme, and antibodies, which have the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth.
