Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that when my period comes, the bleeding is particularly severe, and there's also some itching in my private area. Additionally, I've developed some red spots on the sides of my thighs. It's also very uncomfortable when I urinate. I suspect I might have bacterial vaginosis. Now, I want to know what are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is generally more common in women, usually caused by poor hygiene or excessive cleaning. The common symptoms include itching of the external genitalia and a fishy odor in the vaginal discharge. However, symptoms alone cannot accurately determine the type of infection. It is best to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination and diagnosis, followed by targeted treatment. Vaginal inflammation is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery!
