Does bacterial vaginosis cause blood in vaginal discharge?

Patient's question:

These past two days, I've had two instances of leukorrhea that were a bit like watery discharge. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, had a detailed test of leukorrhea, and also had a smear test of leukorrhea. They said it was bacterial vaginosis, and I haven't taken any medication. This morning, I noticed blood streaks in my leukorrhea. I had a cervical cancer test, but the results are not yet available. I have uterine fibroids, which are small, and I haven't taken any medication. Am I getting cervical cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition exhibits symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, which typically include abnormal discharge and streaks of blood. In your case, I recommend first focusing on rest, consuming light and warm foods, and paying close attention to external genital hygiene. Avoid sexual activity for the time being. It is advisable to use vaginal suppositories for treatment to see if it improves. Rest assured, this is not cervical cancer. I wish you good health.
There are many treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment approach may differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
