Patient's question:
Hello, I have been having vaginal bleeding these days, along with lower abdominal pain and increased discharge. I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. What should I pay attention to when caring for bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for bacterial vaginosis, it is first important to avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, ginger, scallions, and garlic, as these can easily generate internal heat and worsen the condition. Smoking and drinking beer should also be avoided. Pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables and fruits to maintain regular bowel movements, and drink plenty of water to prevent urinary tract infections. People with bacterial vaginosis should also pay attention to their physical health during treatment. During the illness and treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided. If sexual activity occurs before the bacterial vaginosis is fully treated, it may lead to other diseases.
