Patient's question:
My daughter is only 15 years old, but the doctor carefully examined her and found vaginitis. I'm a bit unconvinced, so I asked the doctor to check again carefully. It was bacterial vaginosis. Can you confirm it's bacterial vaginosis? Because my daughter is still so young, I can't believe she would get vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are external itching, yellow discharge, and a bad odor. You can make a self-diagnosis based on these three characteristics. If it is bacterial vaginosis, you can rinse the external genitalia with warm water and then apply metronidazole tablets vaginally. Use the medication for three courses, with each course lasting ten days. During menstruation, stop vaginal medication and focus on medication after the menstrual period has ended. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Bacterial vaginosis patients can, while understanding standard treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to avoid irritating foods.
