Disease description:
I'm 36 years old. Recently, I've been experiencing some itching down there. After an examination, the doctor said I have inflammation and a curd-like vaginal discharge. I usually clean my genital area regularly, yet I still got this condition. How can I prevent curd-like vaginal discharge?
Curd-like vaginal discharge affects the health of both women and men and is contagious. Generally, both partners should undergo treatment. Patients can prevent it by improving lifestyle habits, paying attention to medication use, adjusting diet, and maintaining emotional well-being.
1. Hygiene: Avoid excessive vaginal douching. The vagina naturally maintains its acid-base balance; therefore, avoid using laundry detergent or disinfectants for vaginal cleaning.
2. Clothing changes: Wear cotton, breathable underwear. It's advisable to wear cotton, breathable inner and outer garments regularly to keep the area dry and comfortable. Patients are recommended to maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
