Patient's question:
Not long after living with my boyfriend, I noticed an increase in my leukorrhea and a bad odor. Sometimes, even after sleeping together, I would still see blood streaks. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as acute vaginitis. However, I am still in school and cannot keep going to the hospital for long-term treatment. I would like to ask how to effectively treat acute vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of increased leukorrhea with an odor, and a careful examination reveals acute vaginitis, it is important to use medication promptly to alleviate the condition. It is recommended that you consult with a doctor to decide on the use of topical solutions for local cleaning, while also using internal vaginal medications for relief. If the symptoms are severe, oral anti-inflammatory medication may be necessary. It is advised to take metronidazole as prescribed by your doctor to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, it is important to avoid sexual activity and spicy foods.
