What to check for abnormal vaginal discharge in women

Women with abnormal vaginal discharge need to undergo routine vaginal discharge examinations, cervical cytology examinations, and B-ultrasound examinations to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be caused by infection, hormone imbalance, or gynecological diseases, and needs to be diagnosed and treated according to the specific situation.

Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological problem for women, which may manifest as changes in color, odor, texture or amount. Routine examination of vaginal discharge is the first item. The cells, bacteria and fungi in the vaginal discharge are observed under a microscope to determine whether there is vaginitis, fungal infection or bacterial vaginosis. Cervical cytology (such as TCT) is used to screen cervical lesions and rule out diseases such as cervicitis, cervical polyps or cervical cancer. B-ultrasound examination can observe the condition of the uterus, ovaries and pelvic cavity, and rule out organic lesions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts or pelvic inflammatory disease. If abnormal hormone levels are suspected, six sex hormone tests are also required to evaluate endocrine function. For women who have sex, HPV testing can be performed if necessary to rule out human papillomavirus infection.

For abnormal vaginal discharge, women are advised to maintain good personal hygiene habits and avoid using irritating lotions to clean the private parts. Choose cotton underwear, wash and dry it frequently. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C and probiotics, such as yogurt and citrus fruits, which can help enhance immunity. Avoid excessive fatigue and mood swings, and maintain a regular work and rest schedule. If abnormal vaginal discharge is accompanied by itching, pain or odor, seek medical attention in time and avoid self-medication. Regular gynecological examinations are recommended, especially for married or sexually active women. It is recommended to have a comprehensive gynecological examination every year to detect and treat potential problems early.
