Patient's question:
Bacterial vaginosis keeps not getting better. The doctor told me to insert medication every night, totaling four doses. Last night was the first day I inserted it, and tonight when I used the wash solution, the left labia minora started to hurt. It also hurt when I inserted the medication. It's extremely painful whenever I touch that area. What's going on? Should I still insert the medication tomorrow night?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on your description, it is likely a drug allergy or an inability to adapt. According to your situation, it is recommended to stop taking the medication and wait for a period of time to see if the pain persists. You should also avoid using any liquid washes and first rinse with warm water, changing your underwear frequently. Wishing you good health.There are many treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
