Patient's question:
Abnormal white discharge, curd-like in texture. Upon careful examination, the routine white discharge test shows BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) is positive. Medication has been prescribed, including Benzalkonium Chloride solution. I would like to ask a few questions: when using this solution to rinse the vagina, is it applied externally or internally?Doctor's answer:
This solution should be used to wipe the vagina, ensuring that all areas are cleaned as thoroughly as possible. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life and change underwear frequently. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Bacterial vaginosis is a very common gynecological inflammation. It can also be treated with oral medication for several days. In fact, bacterial vaginosis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is administered accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
