Patient's question:
After the last menstrual period ended, there was a recurrence of external vaginal itching, abnormal yellow discharge, and a foul odor. Throughout the day, I had to use sanitary pads to prevent my underwear from getting wet, and the toilet paper was always stained with yellow fluid. It really hurts, but I feel too embarrassed to go to the hospital. I would like to ask what type of vaginitis this might be, what treatments are available, and how to use the medication.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described and the careful examination results, it appears you currently have bacterial vaginosis. Hello, it is recommended that you use metronidazole effervescent tablets for vaginal application, continuing the treatment for about a week, which should lead to recovery. Pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean, wash daily, and wear pure cotton breathable clothing. Regular follow-up examinations at the hospital are necessary. There are several treatment methods for vaginal itching, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a diagnosis as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
