Patient's question:
It's just that I feel a particularly itchy sensation in my lower abdomen, and later, a lot of yellowish liquid started flowing down with a strong odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said this is called bacterial vaginosis. But I'm quite healthy, and I don't really know what the causes of bacterial vaginosis are?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is likely to be caused by poor hygiene, leading to transmission. From a symptomatic perspective, prompt treatment is necessary to prevent the condition from recurring or affecting normal life. A moist external vaginal environment or improper cleaning can easily lead to bacterial infection. Therefore, follow the doctor's advice to take medication and treat for 7 to 10 days, then undergo a follow-up examination. Pay attention to completing the treatment as prescribed to prevent recurrence. In fact, bacterial vaginosis is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
