What medication is effective for bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 28 years old this year. I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis after a thorough examination three months ago, so I would like to consult you. What medication is most effective for bacterial vaginosis? How long does the treatment usually take to be cured? Will it affect future fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial vaginosis is primarily caused by anaerobic bacterial infections due to vaginal flora imbalance. It is recommended that you always maintain external genital hygiene, prevent moisture, and avoid vaginal douching. Oral metronidazole can be taken, and vaginal metronidazole effervescent tablets and Kangfuyan can be applied for treatment for one week. After re-examination and recovery, lactobacillus capsules can be used to restore vaginal flora. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, or if it must occur, protective measures should be taken. The daily treatment for bacterial vaginosis mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment.
