Patient's question:
What are the treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis? Recently, I unfortunately contracted bacterial vaginosis. I don't know how this disease is caused? Is it a bacterial infection? So, how should it be treated? What medicine should be taken. What should you do in daily life to alleviate these symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Women with bacterial vaginosis primarily treat it with antibiotics. It's basically a bacterial infection, so antibiotics work well in combination. For example, nitrofurantoin suppositories and metronidazole vaginal tablets are ideal for bacterial vaginosis. The main treatment is to target the short, rod-shaped bacteria of Gardnerella vaginalis. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. For daily treatment of vaginitis, symptomatic medication is the main approach. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. We hope vaginitis patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
