Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing abnormal leukorrhea and vaginal itching. After a careful examination, it was found to be vaginitis. How should bacterial vaginosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis, and it can be spread through sexual contact. Bacterial vaginosis is a condition resulting from an imbalance in the vaginal ecosystem, where Gardnerella vaginalis and other anaerobic bacteria increase while lactobacilli decrease. A 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution can be used for vaginal douching to restore the normal physiological environment and inhibit bacterial growth. During the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, in addition to timely medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from bacterial vaginosis.
