Patient's question:
A 31-year-old woman is generally fine, but she experiences symptoms every time after her menstrual period. The specific symptoms include itching in the private area and a feeling of lower abdominal heaviness and pain. Is this a sign of inflammation? Also, if I am diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, will it be severe?Doctor's answer:
As you described, bacterial vaginosis can be treated effectively by taking medication according to the prescribed course by your doctor. However, there are a few things you need to pay attention to: use mild salt water to rinse the external genital area in the morning and evening, keep the external genital area dry at all times, change underwear frequently, drink more water to urinate, avoid spicy foods, and rest for a week to recover. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a good mood, eat more light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
