Patient's question:
I am 36 years old and have been a mother for a year. Recently, I don't know what's going on, but there are white, cheesy-like solid substances in my vagina, piece by piece. Using saline to rinse helps alleviate it. My menstrual flow is always light, and it starts with a little bit and then has a bit again two days later. After my period, there is pain during intercourse. Often during intercourse, the discharge increases halfway through, and it's dry and extremely painful. I don't know what's happening, so please help me!Doctor's answer:
Cottage cheese-like or curd-like leukorrhea: This type of leukorrhea is caused by a Candida infection. The recurrence of this leukorrhea is a typical symptom of candidiasis in women. Candidiasis of the vagina is also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis. It is often accompanied by severe external genital itching or burning pain. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination as soon as possible to identify the cause and implement targeted treatment. Wishing you good health!In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
