Can curd-like vaginal discharge resolve spontaneously?
Disease description:
I am a 28-year-old woman. Recently, I noticed that my vaginal discharge has become abnormal—resembling cottage cheese in appearance. Can “cottage cheese–like” vaginal discharge resolve on its own?
Hello! Curd-like vaginal discharge does not resolve spontaneously. It is primarily caused by vulvovaginal candidiasis—commonly known as yeast infection or candidal vaginitis. Women infected with this condition often experience severe pruritus (itching) of the vulva, curd-like vaginal discharge, and a fishy odor. As the disease progresses, symptoms may worsen to include vulvar erythema and swelling, burning sensation, and dysuria (painful urination), significantly impacting daily work and quality of life. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and a happy life!
