Patient's question:
I found bacterial vaginosis and external itching a few weeks ago. I took medication, used suppositories, and added hygiene measures, which later healed. My husband didn't get treated, and later we had two cross-infections, which were also cured and the itching stopped.Hello, how should my husband be treated? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have bacterial vaginosis that recurred after treatment and intercourse. It is possible that the male partner also has mild inflammation and may need to undergo a thorough examination and treatment. It is recommended that he pay attention to rest, maintain local cleanliness, and clean the external genitalia before and after intercourse, as well as clean the foreskin thoroughly. You can use warm water mixed with povidone-iodine solution for cleaning. If necessary, follow medical advice to use anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. In addition to active treatment, patients with bacterial vaginosis also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and lifestyle to digest and absorb nutrients.
