Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of bacterial vaginosis. After checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which included both topical and oral treatments, and the condition was quickly controlled. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, along with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. My question is: What is the recovery rate for primary bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
This vaginal infection is easy to treat, but it is also easy to recur. This is related to the physiological structure of the vagina itself. It is recommended to pay more attention to hygiene. Both partners should be treated together. Underwear should be exposed to sunlight. In the absence of itching, medication should not be used lightly. External genitalia can be washed with warm water. The vagina itself has a self-cleaning function. Patients should directly consult a gynecologist and promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the gynecological condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
