Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some itching in the external genital area, along with an increase in vaginal discharge and a foul odor in my underwear. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was determined that I have bacterial vaginosis. Doctor, how should bacterial vaginosis be treated? How long does the treatment usually take?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is important to pay attention to hygiene of the private parts. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Proper diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. You can take the Chinese herbal medicine Gynecological Capsules to clear heat and promote diuresis. At the same time, use 30 grams each of polygonum multiflorum, dandelion, prepared rhizoma smilacis and fructus cinnamomi, and 20 grams each of stemona and gentiana scabra. Boil them into a decoction, then use the warm steam to bathe, followed by a sit bath for 15 to 20 minutes, twice a day.The patient is directly affected by bacterial vaginosis. We should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If bacterial vaginosis does not improve with treatment, it is important to switch to a new treatment plan in a timely manner.
