Patient's question:
I recently experienced increased white discharge again, which was yellow and thick. Sometimes, apart from the odor, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was bacterial vaginosis. The doctor asked when I had sex with my husband and said we needed to take medication together. I wonder if my husband also needs treatment for bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, based on the nature of your current vaginal discharge, the possibility of bacterial vaginosis is relatively high. Under normal circumstances, you can treat it independently using various antibacterial medications for symptomatic relief. Local use of many suppositories can be used in conjunction with the treatment. During the treatment period, it is still recommended to temporarily strictly prohibit sexual activity to avoid reinfection. If the symptoms are severe and recurrent, it is advised to seek treatment together with your partner.
