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
