Hello doctor, I have bacterial vaginosis. The discharge is thin and resembles pure yogurt, without viscosity, but without any odor. There is mild itching inside the vagina. I have no other discomforts. How should I treat it correctly, and what should I pay attention to in daily life? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
