Vaginal discharge a lot, uncomfortable wetness, irregular menstrual cycle, polycystic ovaries, what to do?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am 26 years old this year, I have a lot of vaginal discharge, almost every day, it is always wet and very uncomfortable. Usually the discharge is white and clear like water, but on some days it is slightly lumpy and has a yellowish ivory color. I've had this problem for 9 years and I don't know how to fix it. I went to the doctor to ask about this condition but the doctor said that I have not had sex so there is no way to examine it thoroughly. The doctor only examined the fluid and examined the outside, and the diagnosis was not inflammatory or fungal at all. I am very worried that I have cystitis or more seriously, cervical cancer. If not detected and treated in time, it is very dangerous. Currently, I also have polycystic ovary disease and irregular periods, I only get my period once every 2 3 months.
So the doctor told me to ask for a lot of vaginal discharge, uncomfortable wetness, irregular menstrual cycles, polycystic ovaries, what to do? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. Thank you sincerely!

Hello! Please share with me the discomforts that I have endured over the years. Vaginitis is an inflammatory condition of the vagina that leads to increased discharge, itching, pain, discomfort, affects quality of life and can leave many dangerous, persistent, and long-lasting complications such as: Many times, infertility...
The cause is usually due to an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina due to infections: bacteria, viruses, fungal infections, malnutrition, ... and vaginitis non-infectious: condom allergy, vaginal douches... Treatment of vaginitis depends on the cause. The drug is usually prescribed for local and systemic use (depending on the cause of the disease, the severity of the disease) but is usually prescribed to put the drug in the vagina.

According to the signs of vaginal discharge, wetness, you may have vaginitis and vulva. I need to go to the doctor so that the doctor can take the secretions out of the vulva for testing, culture, PCR, etc. However, I need to pay attention not to wash the toilet before going to the doctor. When the test results are available, the doctor will advise the appropriate treatment method.
I have not had sex, so I cannot put medicine in the vagina, the doctor will prescribe oral medicine, advice on hygiene, diet, and activities. If you can't put the medicine in your vagina, you also have to accept that the treatment effect may not be as expected compared to the cases where the drug can be inserted vaginally. I have not had sex, so the possibility of exposing the gland and cervical cancer is very rare.
Accordingly, you should go for regular gynecological exams and get vaccinated against cervical cancer. I have polycystic ovaries, so my periods are irregular and sparse, but if the amount of menstruation is not much, the number of days of menstruation is not long, and there are no other symptoms, then I should go to the gynecologist periodically. Later, when you plan to become pregnant and give birth, you should have a prenatal check-up 3 months before planning to get pregnant for the best advice and prevention.
Through the above answer, I hope you can understand "a lot of discharge, uncomfortable wetness, irregular menstrual cycle, polycystic ovaries, what to do?"
