Patient's question:
Inner vaginal itching, like being pricked by needles, very painful. White discharge is yellow. At first, it was like rotten rice, lumpy, thick, and abundant. Three days later, the white discharge became very thin. I thought I had a fungal vaginal infection. I went to the hospital and told the doctor about my condition.Doctor's answer:
This symptom indicates bacterial vaginosis. Clotrimazole is used to treat candidal vaginitis and cannot be used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Treatment should involve washing the vagina with hydrogen peroxide solution and applying metronidazole inside the vagina, or taking antibiotics such as metronidazole and clindamycin orally. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly trusting advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition.
