Patient's question:
I have been menopausal for five years now. Lately, I've been experiencing some pain in my vagina and a significant increase in leukorrhea. Sometimes it's also itchy. Is this likely a gynecological inflammation? Can gynecological diseases still occur after menopause? I don't have sexual activity.Doctor's answer:
Postmenopausal ovarian atrophy, leukorrhea will occur, but it will be significantly reduced compared to premenopausal levels. If leukorrhea increases abnormally, it is often associated with conditions such as vaginitis or cervical inflammation. However, when suffering from malignant tumors like cervical cancer or endometrial cancer, symptoms of foul-smelling leukorrhea may appear. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine gynecological examination to determine the underlying cause.
