What are the medications used to treat bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

Last month after my menstrual period, symptoms: external itching, several small bumps on the labia minora. It feels a bit swollen inside the vagina. Test results: The first time I went to the hospital for external itching, the vaginal discharge test results were negative. The doctor said there was still inflammation, so he prescribed "Compound Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil Suppositories," but the effect wasn't particularly good. So in the second month, it flared up again. Now I'm using "Compound Metronidazole Vaginal Suppositories."
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: It started to improve, but during my second menstrual period, the external itching returned. I've been using the "Compound Metronidazole Vaginal Suppositories" prescribed by the doctor for three days now. The external itching has stopped, but there's still an uncomfortable feeling inside the vagina—it's strange. The key issue is that the medicine I used last night hasn't come out yet.
What kind of help I need:

Doctor's answer:

According to your condition, it is recommended to actively treat vaginitis with anti-inflammatory therapy. Suggestions: Pay attention to hygiene during daily life to prevent occupational infection. Pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the external genitalia. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and have good ventilation and breathability. Change and wash clothes every day, and use warm water to wash the external genitalia every day. The basin and towel used for washing the external genitalia should be sterilized with boiling water. Underwear should be dried in the sun. There are several treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis, but because the patient's condition is different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and careful examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
