Patient's question:
I've been feeling vaginal itching lately, and my discharge is a bit yellow, like pus-like mucus. I went to the gynecology department and found out it's bacterial vaginosis. How can bacterial vaginosis be treated and prevent recurrence? After treatment, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent bacterial vaginosis is recommended for couples to be treated together, and continuous medication for three months, i.e., inserting medication into the vagina continuously for one week after the menstrual period ends. During treatment, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not drink beer. Strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. Rest more in daily life, always keep the external genital area clean and tidy, change underwear frequently, wash underwear separately from socks, and sterilize regularly. If there is any discomfort, go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible.
