Patient's question:
I have bacterial vaginosis. Can it be completely cured? What impact will it have on me? I am 23 and not married yet, will it affect pregnancy? How should bacterial vaginosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection caused by an imbalance of normal vaginal flora, primarily characterized by increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, which alleviates after sexual intercourse. It may be accompanied by mild external genital itching or burning sensation.According to your description, your condition has been diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis. You need to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for symptomatic treatment. Generally, this involves vaginal lavage and medication. If treated appropriately, this condition usually does not affect future pregnancy. However, if treatment is not effective, it may lead to infertility. Therefore, it is recommended to seek early treatment.
