How is bacterial vaginosis treated? What medications are used?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and my discharge is a bit yellow, sometimes even a little white. My period is also very irregular, coming for a very short duration. After a thorough examination, it was found to be bacterial vaginosis. I'm seeking help from doctors: How is bacterial vaginosis treated? What medication is used?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring symptoms of perineal itching are mostly caused by local inflammatory reactions. Vaginitis and vulvitis are both common causes of these symptoms. You can first use a high-manganese potassium permanganate solution (1:5000) for sitz baths to sterilize the area. Alternatively, you can choose to use a gynecological Honghe washing solution to rinse the vagina. During the acute phase of inflammation, sexual activity should be avoided. Engaging in appropriate outdoor exercises can help boost your immune system.
In addition, during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, besides medication, the patient's diet and mental state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety.
