Patient's question:
Hello, I have been having vaginal bleeding these days, along with lower abdominal pain and increased leukorrhea. After being diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bacterial vaginosis is caused by the blood pathogen Gardnerella vaginalis, mainly transmitted through sexual activity. The main symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge, external genital itching, burning, and some patients may experience pain during intercourse, urinary pain, and difficulty urinating. For bacterial vaginosis treatment, lactic acid or acetic acid solutions can be used for vaginal irrigation, and metronidazole can be taken orally. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and strictly prohibit sexual activity during treatment. There are many treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are noticed.
