What to do about vulvar itching and peeling outside of the menstrual period and anal itching

Patient's question:

The hospital diagnosed bacterial vaginosis. After using Honghe Fumei Wash and Dualozhai Gel, there were no discomforts. However, the condition worsened, and Metronidazole tablets were taken according to the instructions and used as a vaginal suppository. During the menstrual period, there was itching and peeling of the external genitalia, as well as itching around the anus. Additionally, a recurrence of nausea and abdominal pain as adverse reactions to Metronidazole occurred. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms described, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for a check-up and seek treatment based on the situation. Rest and pay attention to personal hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry at all times. Wear loose cotton underwear, boil and wash the underwear, and expose it to sunlight to dry. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, enhance nutrition, exercise moderately, reduce physical resistance, and maintain a regular lifestyle. Avoid sexual activity during treatment. For severe bacterial vaginosis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
