Patient's question:
Last Monday, I had a routine vaginal discharge test which diagnosed bacterial vaginosis, and then I used suppositories for six days (from Monday to Saturday). On Sunday night, I had intercourse, and today when I wiped with paper, I noticed some brown stuff on the paper? Is it because the vaginosis has subsided or is it due to some other reason?Doctor's answer:
You mentioned issues during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. In fact, if you have the aforementioned condition and have been using suppositories, there is no need to worry about the symptoms. The symptoms are likely caused by the local medication. You can focus on careful observation. After a period of treatment, it's recommended to follow up for a re-examination, including a vaginal discharge test. Currently, it cannot be confirmed that the condition is improving. In addition to timely treatment for bacterial vaginosis, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
