Patient's question:
First time diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV) positive with ++ pus cells. What medication should be used? From February 1st to February 18th, symptoms included external genital itching and yellow discharge but no odor, pain, or discomfort. From February 1st to February 18th, there were no allergies or family history. What medication can help improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis tends to recur frequently. It can be transmitted through sexual contact and clothing, requiring treatment for both partners. I recommend using Jie'eryin liquid for local cleaning, inserting metronidazole suppositories vaginally, and taking metronidazole orally again. It's best if your partner takes metronidazole orally as well. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of hot water, maintain good personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and wash clothes and utensils separately from family members. Avoid sexual intercourse during this period. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
