Patient's question:
I always feel damp in my underwear. Because I don't like using pads, I usually have to change my underwear several times a day, otherwise I feel very uncomfortable. There's too much discharge, and it smells a bit. I'm not sure if I have a gynecological disease, but I feel embarrassed to go to the hospital. It's not a good idea.Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal white discharge should be milky white or colorless and transparent, slightly fishy or odorless. Its amount and consistency are influenced by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. The vagina of a healthy person has an acidic environment, making it generally resistant to infections. However, because the vagina is open to the external environment, it can easily become infected when the body's resistance is low or during unclean sexual activity and poor hygiene.
