How to treat abnormal leucorrhea yourself

Abnormal vaginal discharge can be self-treated by adjusting lifestyle habits, diet and local care, but if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

Abnormal vaginal discharge usually manifests as changes in color, odor or amount, which may be related to vaginitis, cervicitis or fluctuations in hormone levels. Mild abnormal vaginal discharge can be improved by the following methods: keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid using irritating lotions, choose cotton underwear and change them frequently. In terms of diet, increasing foods rich in probiotics, such as yogurt and fermented foods, helps maintain the balance of vaginal flora. At the same time, reduce the intake of high-sugar and spicy foods to avoid aggravating inflammation. In terms of local care, you can use warm water sitz baths for 10-15 minutes a day to relieve discomfort.

If abnormal leucorrhea is accompanied by itching, odor or pain, it is recommended to use over-the-counter medications, such as vaginal suppositories (such as clotrimazole, metronidazole) or topical ointments (such as erythromycin ointment). However, it should be noted that drug treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the abuse of antibiotics leading to dysbacteriosis. If the symptoms persist for more than a week, or severe symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain occur, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible, conduct a routine examination of leucorrhea, and provide targeted treatment after the cause is determined. Avoid excessive vaginal cleaning in order to avoid destroying the normal flora environment. At the same time, pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life to reduce the risk of infection.
