Patient's question:
I have been on my period for over 10 days, and now I am no longer bleeding. The brown discharge has also disappeared, but there is some yellowish discharge? Is it possible that I have a vaginal infection? Can I use Fubishu vaginal effervescent tablets now?Doctor's answer:
Yellow discharge after painless abortion may be related to the following factors:Normal discharge is typically white, stringy, highly viscous, and does not adhere to the vaginal walls, with no odor. Yellow discharge after abortion is likely a sign of inflammation. The color of the discharge can help identify some gynecological conditions, but the definitive diagnosis requires examination at a formal and professional hospital.
Another possibility is that yellow discharge after an abortion is most likely a symptom of trichomoniasis. If the discharge is yellow or light greenish-yellow, foamy, has an unpleasant odor, and causes a burning sensation in the vagina, itching of the external genitalia, it is highly probable that the condition is trichomoniasis.
Common types of vaginitis include trichomoniasis, candidiasis, nonspecific vaginitis, and atrophic vaginitis. They share common clinical characteristics such as abnormal discharge, itching, burning pain, and dyspareunia. If a woman experiences abnormal discharge, such as an increase in discharge volume, changes in appearance and viscosity, or a fishy odor, it may indicate the presence of vaginitis.
