Patient's question:
Hello, after recovering from Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis, can it still be triggered if you don't have sex with a carrier? How can you increase the chances of it recurring? How long after recovery can you get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
① Avoid the use of corrosive drugs inside the vagina and stop using vaginal contraceptives and ointments.② Pay attention to personal hygiene, frequently clean the external genitalia, completely eliminate the predisposing factors for the disease, and stabilize the overall condition.
③ If there is damage to the vagina, vaginal repair should be performed as soon as possible to completely remove any foreign bodies inside the vagina.
④ Treat pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, endometritis, and other diseases that are prone to cause vaginal infection and inflammation.
⑤ A 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution can be used daily to rinse the vagina to alter its acid-base environment and inhibit bacterial growth.
⑥ Local medication, such as metronidazole 0.2 grams, once daily, for a 7-day course; or antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol or tetracycline, can be applied to the vaginal wall, once daily, for a 7-10-day course.
