Patient's question:
This month, I had intercourse during ovulation (on the 7th). A few days later, I noticed coffee-colored discharge in my underwear, a lot of it, requiring me to change my underwear twice a day. It doesn't hurt or itch. On the 22nd, I got my period, and after it ended, the discharge still persisted, though it has reduced—not significantly. I've never had this before; it only started after ovulation intercourse. What could be the reason? Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Eat less irritating foodsAvoid excessive vaginal cleaning
Maintain a positive mood
Choice of clothing: Wear pure cotton underwear because pure cotton underwear helps improve vaginal ventilation. Since most inflammatory bacteria are Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria that dislike oxygen, pure cotton underwear allows for ventilation and oxygen supply, which can prevent the occurrence of vaginitis. Avoid wearing tight or poorly ventilated jeans as outerwear, as this can exacerbate vaginal ventilation issues.
