Patient's question:
In recent days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is a significant increase in discharge. Now, every time I urinate, it causes pain. I don't know what might be causing this, and I'm now looking to ask here. How is bacterial vaginosis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Some women are troubled by bacterial vaginosis, which is difficult to recover from and recurs repeatedly. Its transmission routes are various, such as unclean sexual activity, unclean underwear and pants, and visiting public places like hotels and baths.Harm:
1. Preterm birth or miscarriage: Bacterial vaginosis not only causes problems for the mother's perinatal health but can also harm the fetus during early pregnancy, reducing this risk.
2. Impacts quality of life: Bacterial vaginosis often accompanies symptoms like external genital itching, causing numerous inconveniences and disruptions to a woman's life and work, as well as affecting intimate relationships.
3. Causes infertility: Changes in the vaginal pH can inhibit sperm motility, while pathogenic bacteria absorb sperm, increasing sperm count and directly affecting fertility.
