Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. Recently, I have always felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and aching waist. Moreover, my private area has been very uncomfortable, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, which is really unbearable. Please ask: How can chronic vaginitis be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis, and it can be spread through sexual contact. Bacterial vaginosis is a condition resulting from an imbalance in the vaginal ecosystem, where Gardnerella vaginalis and anaerobic bacteria increase while lactobacilli decrease. After developing this condition, it is recommended to consume light and easily digestible foods, avoid alcohol and smoking, and refrain from spicy foods. Consuming foods that promote diuresis and alleviate dampness, such as winter melon, watermelon, and red beans, can help in the recovery from bacterial vaginosis.
