Question
I have been experiencing frequent cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge with a mild fishy odor. Is this a disease?
Answer
Cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge may be a symptom of vaginitis, particularly candidiasis, which is caused by a yeast infection. It is recommended to undergo a thorough medical examination and receive treatment that is tailored to your condition. During treatment, it is advisable to avoid sexual intercourse and consider treating your sexual partner as well to prevent cross-infection. After completing the treatment regimen, it is important to continue with maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence.
