About Abnormal Vaginal Discharge

Abnormal vaginal discharge is not a procedure but a common symptom that requires diagnostic evaluation by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. The consultation involves a detailed medical history, a physical and pelvic examination, and often diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause. These tests may include a microscopic examination of the discharge (wet mount), pH testing, cultures for bacteria or fungi, and screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The goal is to accurately diagnose conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or other infections and inflammatory conditions, leading to targeted and effective treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Angel Williams, a 28-year-old elementary school...

Angel Williams, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher, had been experiencing a persistent, foul-smelling, greyish vaginal discharge for three weeks, accompanied by mild itching. As a busy professional planning her wedding in six months, she felt stressed and embarrassed, worrying it was a sign of a serious infection or a hygiene issue. Her gynecologist, Dr. Lee, recommended a pelvic exam and vaginal swab to test for bacterial vaginosis (BV). During the speculum exam, Angel felt anxious but was reassured by Dr. Lee's calm explanation. The swab was quick, with only a momentary discomfort. Test results confirmed BV. After a week-long course of prescribed antibiotics, the discharge and odor completely resolved. Emotionally, Angel moved from shame and anxiety to relief and empowerment, learning that BV is common and not a reflection of personal cleanliness, allowing her to focus on her wedding plans with peace of mind.
