Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should bacterial vaginosis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis can be thoroughly examined and treated with oral medication combined with topical treatments. The treatment course generally lasts about two months. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and patients should not self-medicate. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Both partners should pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia before and after sexual activity. Rest and proper nutrition should be maintained to boost the immune system. Avoid extremely cold, irritating, and spicy foods. There are several treatment methods for vaginosis, but since symptoms vary among patients, different diagnostic approaches are adopted. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
