Patient's question:
I have had bacterial vaginosis for nearly 20 years. It causes pain during intercourse, mainly at the vaginal opening, and itching of the external genitalia. After each treatment, it keeps recurring every time my period comes. What should I do? What medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
It might be an issue with the male partner. In this case, considering joint treatment for the couple could be an option. It could also be that each treatment is not thorough enough, and self-medication can easily lead to reinfection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for medication and treatment. There are many treatment methods for bacterial vaginosis, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure the correct treatment.
