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:
This may be a symptom of bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis and can be spread through sexual contact. Bacterial vaginosis is a disease that occurs when Gardnerella, anaerobic bacteria, and other pathogens multiply while lactobacilli decrease, leading to a disruption in the ecological balance of the vaginal environment. It is recommended to change underwear frequently or use warm water for hygiene, and never wash with other clothes to prevent cross-infection. Oral metronidazole is the most effective treatment. During the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude.
