Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing abnormal leukorrhea and vaginal itching. After a careful examination, it was found to be vaginitis. What are the effective methods to treat bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection based on Gardnerella transmission. The typical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are abnormal vaginal discharge and a fishy odor in the vagina. If you have obvious symptoms, you can use Jie'er Yin or Fu Yin Jie to rinse the vagina, and then soak it in metronidazole effervescent tablets. The treatment should be continued for 7 to 10 days, or you can also take metronidazole tablets orally at the same time. Prevention: Underwear and socks must be strictly prohibited from being washed together with shoe soles and socks. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing underwear and socks, it is best to expose them to the sun. Spouses should be treated simultaneously to avoid repeated mutual infection during sexual activity, which may lead to lingering illness.
