Problem with keputihan

Hello. I am a woman 19 y/o. I never married and never doing sex. I am concerned with my internal issue which is “keputihan”. My problem is the colour of keputihan kept changing from light green to yellow. I know that its not normal to have the colours. My keputihan also smelly sometimes. I have talk to my parents but they refused to bring me to the doctors. I do further research on how to treat the problem and one of the way is to consume yoghurt. My question is,can yoghurt treat my keputihan? If yes what kind of yoghurt and how much i should take perday? Thank you.

Hello and good evening. Thank you for your question.

For your information, your recent abnormal vaginal discharge that is coloured green to yellow which has a bad odour is likely due to a certain STD infection. However, some STD infections are not specified to be transmitted via sexual intercourse, some might be transmitted by blood or skin to skin contact that might be resulted due to poor hygiene. Moreover, a skin irritation might be related to your symptom.

There are a few conditions or infection that might cause your type of discharge such as:

  • Bacterial infection or overgrowth such as Trichomonas infection.
  • Yeast infection that are accompanied by vaginal itching. T
  • Obstruction of vaginal discharge by certain foreign bodies. This is somehow related to the infection of the Bartholin gland, located at each side behind the vulval opening
  • Use of topical ointment or soap, that might interfere with vaginal secretions or cause allergies and irritation.
  • Allergic dermatitis that might cause spreading of inflammation around your genital area. May be due to poor hygiene.
  • It might be a sign of a Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, where your reproductive organs and pelvic organs is experiencing a certain inflammatory process, due to certain acquired infections via urinary, or genital tract.
