Patient's question:
My wife has vaginitis, and she's itchy down there really badly. It's especially itchy every morning. She has already gone to the hospital and was prescribed oral metronidazole tablets. At first, they were effective, but then the itching started again. Which hospital should she go to treat bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is a syndrome characterized by increased vaginal discharge, fishy odor, and itching or burning sensation in the external genitalia, resulting from an imbalance in the vaginal microecology and endocrine disorders. It can be treated with medications such as metronidazole tablets or levofloxacin tablets, and local treatment can involve washing the vagina and external genitalia with Jie'eryin. During the illness and until recovery, sexual activity should be avoided. Pay attention to hygiene, and separate underwear and socks should be washed. Underwear worn during the illness should be boiled. Washed items should not be air-dried but should be exposed to sunlight for drying. In addition to immediate medical treatment, gynecological patients should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood, as a good mood greatly aids in full recovery. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
