Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old. After a thorough examination, it was found that she had bacterial vaginosis because she had no sexual activity. The doctor prescribed a dehumidifying, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving liquid, as well as oral ornidazole. The medicine was finished quickly, and in the past two days, two pimples have grown around the vaginal opening, with pain and itching, especially noticeable at night. When she saw the doctor, it was daytime and there wasn't much swelling. She mentioned having a lump, and after the doctor examined it for a few moments, he said it was normal. Now the medicine is finished, but she feels it's getting worse. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. The acne-like bumps around the vaginal opening might be caused by acne. It is advised to maintain good hygiene for the external genital area, avoid wearing leather pants and synthetic fiber underwear, and refrain from consuming spicy or greasy foods. If necessary, a routine vaginal discharge test should be conducted to identify the type of infection for targeted treatment. Patients with bacterial vaginosis can, in addition to professional medical treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge on food.
