How to treat bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

I had a relatively serious gynecological disease before I got pregnant. This time, it was an accidental pregnancy, and I didn't prepare at all. But now, I have a very severe vaginitis, with itchy external genitalia and abnormal vaginal discharge with a noticeable odor. I want to consult about how to treat bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you have bacterial vaginosis, you can use gynecological cleansing liquid to wipe the external genitalia, but vaginal washing should not be performed. External use of vaginal suppositories that are safe during pregnancy can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Avoid spicy and overly irritating foods. Medications must be used under the guidance of a pharmacist or doctor. During pregnancy, pay attention to personal hygiene, use warm water to wipe the external genitalia every night, and avoid overexertion. For patients, if the condition of bacterial vaginosis is severe, symptomatic treatment should be immediately initiated with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of bacterial vaginosis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. I hope the answers above can help everyone. Thank you.
