Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 19 year old female. I have watery heavy white foul vaginal discharge every day since four months. Is it due to hormonal imbalance?

Answered by Dr. Gowrimeena

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From what you have described, it looks like you have a bad vaginal infection. You need to see a gynecologist doctor fairly quickly and get treated. This is important as untreated vaginal infections can spread upwards into the uterus.

Hormonal imbalance has nothing to do with this.

Your doctor will also check your sugar level if you are overweight, if you have PCOS, or have a family history of diabetes. You will also need a testing for urine infection as it is common for both to co-exist.

Take care, hope this helps.
