Patient's question:
I have had bacterial vaginosis for about a year and a few months. There are always creamy white secretions in my vagina. The medication helped, but the symptoms returned after a few days. It also flares up when my period is about to start, and it gets worse then. When my period is approaching, I also have lower back pain. Inflammation also causes lower back pain. In 2016, I had a minimally invasive surgery for cervical erosion. After the surgery, I bled for about twenty days before the bleeding stopped. I also had an abortion once. At that time, a thorough examination revealed that I had chlamydia. Even after treating chlamydia, it keeps recurring. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, if it is confirmed to be bacterial vaginosis, topical application of traditional Chinese medicine can be used. I used targeted medication to treat internally in the vagina. If the above treatment does not yield ideal results, routine tests such as leukocyte test can be conducted to identify the causative microorganisms. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular meals, and eat more vegetables while avoiding irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
