Patient's question:
Previously, the careful examination indicated Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis, but now the careful examination says it has improved. It's bacterial vaginosis again. Is this bacterial vaginosis an infection? My husband says he's a bit itchy too. Is it an infection?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, bacterial vaginosis is generally never infectious; it is caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. It is recommended that you maintain good hygiene habits, rinse the external genitalia with warm water daily, wear loose cotton underwear, change your clothes frequently, avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, do not rinse the vagina, and do not use antibiotics casually. In addition to active treatment for patients with vaginal itching, they also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
