What should I do if I have bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

A month ago, I had bacterial vaginosis, and later I had some symptoms of yeast vaginitis. I used baking soda to rinse the vagina or used clotrimazole suppositories for 9 days. The day before yesterday was the 9th day of medication for the vagina. Yesterday, there was only a little discharge, and there was blood in the discharge. This morning, when I wiped, there was also a little blood. After one minute, my period started. Is this normal? Is it related to my menstrual period or is it because the vaginitis hasn't healed? Because when I had vaginitis, the outer labia were itchy, so I kept rinsing with baking soda. Later, the doctor recommended

Doctor's answer:

Do not wipe or use medication during your menstrual period. Therefore, it is recommended to completely eliminate stress, pay attention to personal hygiene, and use warm water to clean the external genitalia daily after your period ends, always keeping them clean and dry. For severe bacterial vaginosis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch to new medications randomly, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
