Patient's question:
This month after my period, I have a strange odor. I feel like my period hasn't stopped completely, and there's no pain or itching. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: I've been on medication for four days now, and there's still some redness. It still feels like it hasn't stopped completely, but it's getting better. What kind of help do I need: The doctor said it's bacterial vaginosis, which is very unattractive. Is that really the case? How did I get this disease?Doctor's answer:
During treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness at all times. Wash and change underwear frequently, do not share towels or bathtubs with others, and avoid wearing nylon or similar fabric underwear. Items such as towels and underwear used during the illness should be boiled and sterilized. The diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent the accumulation of damp-heat or the exhaustion of yin blood. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. During menstruation, avoid sitting baths, vaginal wipes, or vaginal medication. Strictly prohibit alcohol consumption during medication.Since patients are directly affected by bacterial vaginosis, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented without hesitation. Avoid delaying medical consultation. If bacterial vaginosis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
