Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, excessive yellow discharge, and redness/swelling of the external genitalia. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Used Baofukang (suppository) and Metronidazole, but they were ineffective. What Chinese patent medicines can be taken?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene and maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia at all times. Avoid scratching, soaking in hot water, or using soap. If there is an infection, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.In addition, during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. It is essential to maintain a positive mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from bacterial vaginosis.
