Patient's question:
I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please explain how bacterial vaginosis is contracted?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, which will again lead to increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and other symptoms. This is mainly caused by bacterial infection and requires timely medical treatment. For vaginal infections, topical treatments such as metronidazole effervescent tablets or suppositories can be used, inserted into the vagina before bedtime, or tinidazole suppositories, also inserted into the vagina before bedtime. Oral medications can include metronidazole tablets. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. In addition to symptomatic treatment in gynecology, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
