Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of it. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled it through both topical and oral use. However, recently, I've started experiencing discomfort in my private area again, with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Please ask: What are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be a case of vaginitis. Hello, bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection caused by the imbalance of normal flora in the vagina, but there are no changes in clinical diagnosis or pathology. Anaerobic bacteria are predominant, and the cause is not very clear. Some people are asymptomatic, while the main symptoms in those with symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, a fishy odor, external itching, or a burning sensation. Relief after intercourse is recommended. The first-line treatment is oral metronidazole 400 mg, taken 2-3 times daily for 7 days. Local use of metronidazole effervescent tablets 200 mg, once nightly, alternating use for 7-10 days, with an 80% relief rate approximately. During pregnancy, oral metronidazole is often used for treatment.
