Vaginal Discharge Treatment Singapore

Vaginal infections are a common concern that may cause irritation, unusual discharge, odour, or discomfort. They can result from bacterial, fungal, or sexually transmitted organisms and often occur when the vaginal flora or pH balance is disrupted.

Asimont Clinic’s primary focus is in the medical aesthetics field. Care for vaginal infections is available through our affiliated clinics within the medical group, Motherlove, Motherlove GP, and our gynaecology specialist clinic. These centres provide confidential, evidence-based diagnosis and treatment to restore comfort, address the root cause, and support long-term gynaecological health.
Restoring Balance to the Vaginal Environment

What is Abnormal Vagina Discharge?

Vaginal discharge is a normal physiological process that helps maintain vaginal health by flushing out bacteria and old cells. While it is common for discharge to change with hormonal fluctuations, such as during ovulation, abnormal changes may signal infection or inflammation.

Discharge may be considered abnormal if you notice:

• A change in colour (e.g., yellow, green, grey, brown)

• A strong or foul-smelling odour

• A clumpy, watery, or frothy texture

• Accompanying symptoms like itch, burning, soreness, or pain

These may indicate a fungal, bacterial, or sexually transmitted infection.

Recognising Signs That May Require Medical Evaluation

When You Should See A Doctor?

Do note that some infections may have no symptoms but still affect reproductive health. Regular screening is encouraged, especially if sexually active or at risk.

Hence, treatment may benefit individuals experiencing:

Understanding the Underlying Conditions Behind Vaginal Changes

Common Causes For Abnormal Discharge

Common conditions linked to abnormal discharge

Yeast Infection (Candidiasis)

Caused by overgrowth of Candida fungus. Symptoms include thick white clumpy discharge, itching, and redness.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Caused by imbalance of vaginal bacteria. Typically presents with thin greyish discharge and a strong fishy odour.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, or mycoplasma may cause yellow, green, or bloody discharge.

Atrophic Vaginitis

Often seen in postmenopausal women due to reduced estrogen levels. Discharge may be watery, with dryness and irritation.
