Patient's question:

There is a strange odor... The left lower abdomen is a bit hard, sometimes it hurts. The right side is not hard. Lately, there has been sexual intercourse every day.Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, it is highly likely that bacterial vaginosis is the cause. It is best to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test and bacterial culture for diagnosis. For the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, lactate or acetic acid solutions can be used for vaginal irrigation to restore the normal physiological environment, inhibit bacterial growth, and be combined with oral and tetracycline treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and strictly avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. At the same time, sexual partners should also be treated to prevent cross-infection caused by self-healing after sexual contact. The condition of vulvar itching is very severe, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
