Vaginal discharge resembling tofu residue accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain is generally caused by fungal vaginitis. Mold is an opportunistic pathogen that can reside in the female vagina and may lead to infection under favorable conditions, resulting in vulvovaginitis. Mild, non-severe lower abdominal pain often arises from intestinal spasms and can be managed with rest and observation. Symptoms alone are insufficient for definitive diagnosis. Patients should undergo a gynecological examination for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, to prevent prolonged inflammation and potential spread to adjacent tissues.
