Patient's question:
Got bacterial vaginosis, afraid of passing it to my partner, so I've stopped having sex. Following the doctor's advice, I'm taking medication and undergoing treatment. I rarely go to public swimming pools for a swim, and I hardly ever soak in hot springs either. It's said that this condition is quite common. I'd like to consult a doctor on how to prevent bacterial vaginosis.Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check the diagnosis and find that there is a sexually transmitted infection of vaginitis, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and use vaginal medication, which will be effective. However, in these days, still pay attention to sunning and sterilizing underwear, and avoid having unclean sexual intercourse. Generally, following the doctor's advice to take medication for one week will stabilize the condition. Then, pay attention to eating light food, not drinking alcohol, and avoiding spicy food. In a few days, actively follow the plan to do a routine check of leukorrhea to re-examine. Avoid strenuous exercise and do not soak in hot springs. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, they should immediately treat it according to the symptoms and use the appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
