Patient's question:
I noticed that my menstrual cycle has been irregular recently. Every time I have my period, it's very painful. And during the days when I don't have my period, I have abnormal vaginal discharge. I'd like to ask you, am I suffering from bacterial vaginosis? What are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of bacterial vaginosis is that there may be a recurrence of certain abnormal vaginal discharge, including changes in the color of the discharge, such as yellowing or changes in viscosity. At the same time, there may also be itching or a bad odor. If these symptoms occur, it could be a sign of vaginal inflammation, and it is necessary to have a careful examination. You can go to the hospital for a routine examination of vaginal secretions to make a diagnosis.For vaginal inflammation, in addition to taking oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to personal care. For example, pay more attention to hygiene in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication.
