Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy in my vagina lately, and my discharge is also abnormal with a bad odor. I went to the nearby children's hospital to see a doctor, but they weren't there. The young nurse told me it's bacterial vaginosis and advised me to maintain hygiene at home until the doctor returns tomorrow to get medication. What kind of anti-inflammatory medicine is used for bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis can be treated with metronidazole-class medications. Oral metronidazole tablets can be taken, or metronidazole suppositories can be applied vaginally. Locally, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory solutions can be used to wipe the external genitalia. It is important to maintain local cleanliness and dryness, avoid scratching or rubbing, change underwear frequently, and take baths often. Underwear should be boiled to prevent cross-infection.In addition to timely treatment for bacterial vaginosis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they receive timely and appropriate treatment. It is also essential to pay attention to dietary care, ensure a balanced diet, and digest nutrients promptly. They believe that this will definitely drive away bacterial vaginosis.
