Patient's question:
I don't have sexual activity, actually I feel quite hygienic most of the time. Usually, I change my underwear once a day, but I still ended up getting a gynecological inflammation. Recently, my vaginal discharge has significantly increased compared to before, and I can see a thick layer on my underwear every time I change it.Doctor's answer:
Gynecological inflammation is a common disease among women, primarily referring to inflammation of the female reproductive organs, including vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, if asymptomatic, simply mean that the organisms are normally colonizing the human body, which is normal and nothing to worry about.Recommendations: The factors or causes of gynecological inflammation are multifaceted, possibly due to a weakened immune system or reduced body resistance. Since many gynecological inflammatory conditions do not show obvious symptoms in the early stages, they can only be detected through gynecological examinations. Therefore, to prevent gynecological inflammation, women should undergo regular gynecological check-ups, especially married women, to ensure timely treatment. If gynecological inflammation is not treated promptly, the inflammation may spread upwards and affect the female internal reproductive organs.
