Patient's question:
Recently, after a series of examinations, I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. I would like to ask, how is bacterial vaginosis generally treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bacterial vaginosis is caused by the blood pathogen Gardnerella vaginalis, primarily transmitted through sexual activity. The main symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge, external genital itching, burning sensation, and some patients may experience pain during intercourse, dysuria, and difficulty urinating. For the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, lactate 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. In addition to medication for bacterial vaginosis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment effects.
