Patient's question:
Since late August 2018, I have been experiencing recurring episodes of bacterial vaginosis and candidal vaginitis. The candidal vaginitis was acquired on November 2nd due to sexual activity with my boyfriend, who also developed candidal balanitis. Later, I treated and cured the candidal vaginitis. After the divorce, I haven't had any sexual activity for the past two months. I became worried that he might have HIV or genital warts, so I went to the hospital myself to get tested for HIV and syphilis, and the results were negative. Can I completely rule out HIV? Later, my bacterial vaginosis kept recurring after physical treatments at the gynecology hospital, but it still kept coming back. It has now recurred again in the past few days. One day, I noticed something growing, and I was afraid it might be genital warts. I went to the gynecology hospital, and the doctor examined me but said they didn't see anything. How accurate are doctors' examinations in general? Then they saidDoctor's answer:
Your condition is a mixed vaginal infection. It is recommended to use medication for treatment. The ulcers can be disinfected with povidone-iodine and then apply erythromycin ointment. Since you have a history of recurrent episodes, bacterial vaginosis should ideally undergo a susceptibility test to determine the most sensitive antibiotic for treatment. For vaginal infection, Kenidin can be used once every three days. After using two doses, use Dingjunsheng to adjust the vaginal flora. Pay attention to personal hygiene. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. For the patient, if the bacterial vaginosis condition is severe, symptomatic treatment should be initiated immediately, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of bacterial vaginosis. Additionally, the patient should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
