Abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, stomach pain

Abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, and stomach pain may be manifestations of gynecological inflammation, which is common in diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. These symptoms require timely medical treatment and targeted treatment after the cause is determined.

Abnormal vaginal discharge usually manifests as changes in color, texture or odor, such as yellow, green or grayish white discharge with a fishy or foul odor. The odor may be related to bacterial infection, fungal infection or Trichomonas infection. Abdominal pain may be caused by the spread of inflammation to the pelvic cavity, resulting in pelvic congestion or adhesions. Common causes include bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Bacterial vaginitis is mostly caused by anaerobic infection, candidal vaginitis is related to the overgrowth of Candida albicans, and Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by vaginal Trichomonas infection. Cervicitis may be related to sexually transmitted diseases or local infections, and pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by ascending infections.

For abnormal vaginal discharge, odor and stomach pain, the treatment method should be selected according to the specific cause. Bacterial vaginitis can be treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole and clindamycin, fungal vaginitis is often treated with antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and clotrimazole, and trichomonas vaginitis requires oral metronidazole or tinidazole. Treatment of cervicitis includes topical medications such as povidone-iodine suppositories and antibiotic suppositories, and physical therapy or surgery is required in severe cases. Pelvic inflammatory disease requires the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ceftriaxone and doxycycline, and hospitalization is required if necessary. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables, to enhance immunity. Avoid spicy and greasy foods to reduce inflammatory stimulation. In terms of exercise, moderate low-intensity exercises such as yoga and walking can promote blood circulation, but avoid strenuous exercise that aggravates symptoms.

Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, change underwear frequently, and choose cotton breathable materials. Avoid using irritating lotions to clean the vulva and keep the vulva dry and clean. Pay attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse and use condoms to prevent infection. Have regular gynecological examinations, especially for women who have sex, and have a cervical smear test at least once a year. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment and causing the condition to worsen.
