Patient's question:
A 36-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 case of inflammation? Please ask: How can bacterial vaginosis be distinguished from mixed vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is mostly caused by simple bacterial infections. If it is a mixed-type vaginitis, it refers to infections that may involve bacteria, fungi, and trichomonas, among other mixed pathogens. The general treatment methods for bacterial and mixed-type vaginitis are as follows. During treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
