If there is a lot of cold discharge and it turns light green... it may be a situation that requires antibiotic treatment.

If the discharge (cold) is abnormally prolonged or if the color and smell change, it may indicate a need for treatment for vaginitis.

Dr. Jo Byeong-gu, director of Avenue Women's Clinic, said, "If the amount of vaginal discharge suddenly increases and lasts for more than a week, there are other underlying conditions such as vaginitis."

 

 

It is a sticky, white, transparent liquid that moistens a woman's reproductive organs.

 

Protect the skin and maintain acidity to prevent microbial growth.

 

An abnormal increase in the amount of discharge is called leucorrhea, but not all cases are problematic.

 

It is normal for vaginal discharge to increase during ovulation, before and after menstruation, after childbirth, or when immune strength is weakened due to stress during the 1 to 2 years of irregular menstruation after menarche.

 

At this time, it is mostly colorless and has a slightly sour smell.

However, if megacolon persists for more than a week and its color and smell change, treatment is necessary.

 

Director Jo Byung-gu☆ said, "Especially if the color changes to yellow or light green, or if there is a fishy smell or a heavy sensation in the lower abdomen, it could be caused by candidiasis or trichomonas vaginitis."

 

"If not treated immediately, bacteria can penetrate deep into the uterus and cause pelvic inflammatory disease," he said.

 

If vaginitis is confirmed, antibiotics are prescribed.

 

Usually, taking medication leads to recovery within a week, but if you arbitrarily stop the medication during treatment, resistance can develop, leading to the progression of chronic vaginitis.

 

To prevent vaginitis, it is recommended to wear well-ventilated clothing and pure cotton underwear.

 

Vaginal cleansers are also helpful.

 

However, overusing the cleanser can wash away the normal bacteria in the vagina, so it is recommended to use it only once or twice a week.
