Reproductive examination abnormal vaginal discharge

Abnormal vaginal discharge is one of the common symptoms of the female reproductive system, which may be caused by a variety of reasons, including infection, hormone imbalance or disease. For abnormal vaginal discharge, appropriate treatment measures should be taken according to the specific cause, such as drug treatment, adjustment of lifestyle habits or medical examination.

1. Infection

The most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge is infection, including bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and trichomoniasis. Bacterial vaginitis usually presents with increased vaginal discharge and odor; candidal vaginitis is accompanied by dreg-like vaginal discharge and vulvar itching; trichomoniasis may cause yellow-green foamy vaginal discharge. Treatment of infection requires selection of drugs based on the pathogen, such as metronidazole for bacterial vaginitis, clotrimazole for candidal vaginitis, and metronidazole or tinidazole for trichomoniasis.

2. Hormone imbalance

Fluctuations in hormone levels can also cause abnormal vaginal discharge, which is common during menstrual cycle changes, pregnancy or menopause. Increased estrogen levels may increase vaginal discharge, while decreased hormone levels may reduce or dry vaginal discharge. Adjusting hormone levels can be done through dietary adjustments, such as increasing the intake of soy products to supplement phytoestrogens, or using hormone drugs as prescribed by a doctor.

3. Disease factors

Certain diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or uterine fibroids may also cause abnormal vaginal discharge. Cervicitis is often accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, abnormal color or blood; pelvic inflammatory disease may be accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and fever; uterine fibroids may cause increased vaginal discharge or abnormal menstruation. Treatment needs to be targeted at specific diseases, such as antibiotics to treat pelvic inflammatory disease, surgery to remove uterine fibroids, etc.

4. Lifestyle

Bad living habits such as excessive cleaning, using irritating lotions or wearing non-breathable underwear may also cause abnormal vaginal discharge. It is recommended to choose mild cleaning products, avoid frequent vaginal douching, wear cotton underwear and keep the vulva dry.
