    Abnormal leucorrhea with an odor may be related to bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and other diseases. You can use metronidazole tablets, clotrimazole vaginal tablets, tinidazole suppositories, fluconazole capsules, Baofukang suppositories and other drugs as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to determine the cause of the disease and avoid self-medication.

    1. Metronidazole tablets

    Metronidazole tablets are suitable for the treatment of odor-prone vaginal discharge caused by bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas vaginitis. It can improve symptoms by inhibiting the growth of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Gastrointestinal discomfort may occur during medication, and alcohol consumption must be avoided. Not suitable for pregnant and lactating women.

    2. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets

    Clotrimazole vaginal tablets are used for abnormal leucorrhea caused by vulvovaginal candidiasis, which can destroy the fungal cell membrane structure. Local burning sensation is common, so it is contraindicated for those with allergies. It needs to be avoided during menstrual period and the leucorrhea routine should be reviewed after the treatment.

    3. Tinidazole suppository

    Tinidazole suppositories are used for trichomoniasis or bacterial infections, and topical vaginal administration can reduce systemic side effects. Increased discharge may occur after use, and sexual contact must be avoided until cured. Use with caution in patients with moderate to severe hepatic insufficiency.

    4. Fluconazole capsules

    Fluconazole capsules are suitable for refractory Candida infections and relieve leucorrhea odor by inhibiting fungal sterol synthesis. Liver function needs to be monitored, and combined use with terfenadine and other drugs is prohibited. It is recommended to supplement probiotics during medication.

    5. Baofukang suppository

    Baofukang Suppository is a Chinese patent medicine used for abnormal leucorrhea due to damp-heat syndrome. It contains ingredients such as zedoary turmeric oil, which can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. If symptoms of vaginal irritation occur occasionally, discontinue use during menstrual period. The vulva needs to be kept clean and dry during treatment.

    You need to choose cotton underwear and change it daily, and avoid using irritating lotions to clean the perineum. Reduce spicy, sweet and greasy foods in your diet, and supplement fermented dairy products containing lactic acid bacteria in an appropriate amount. If the symptoms are not relieved after taking the medication or reactions such as rash or fever occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and followed up for follow-up. When symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever are combined, diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease need to be ruled out.
