Patient's question:
BR>I have gynecological problems that frequently recur. I've noticed that I have excessive vaginal discharge with a bad odor and mild lower abdominal pain. Could someone help me? Thank you!Medical history and treatment: I've been to a gynecological hospital here, where I had treatments like microwave therapy, uterine polypectomy, and used Qilqing (Seven Clear) and other suppositories. They worked well while I was using them, but once I stopped, the symptoms returned. What should I do in this situation? I'm very frustrated.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the normal vagina has its own resistance and acidic environment, making it generally difficult to get infected. However, because the vagina is open to the external environment, it is more prone to infection when the resistance is low or when sexual practices are unclean or hygiene is not properly maintained. Therefore, if women notice symptoms such as external genital and vaginal itching, increased vaginal discharge, changes in color with a foul odor, or even lower back discomfort and abdominal pain, it is important to visit the hospital for a detailed gynecological examination and routine secretion tests to confirm the diagnosis. Then, follow the doctor's advice to treat the symptoms and underlying causes accordingly. If necessary, both partners should be treated simultaneously. It is crucial not to self-medicate blindly to cover up the actual condition. Also, avoid self-medication, as it may lead to poor treatment outcomes and incomplete recovery.
