Dr. Chen Zhe
Long-term excessive vaginal discharge may be caused by elevated estrogen levels in the body, which is generally a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. It could also result from untreated acute cervicitis; in such cases, medications like azithromycin or ofloxacin may be used as directed by a physician. If chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is present, it may also lead to prolonged excessive vaginal discharge. It is recommended to take medications such as cefixime and metronidazole under a doctor's guidance.
