Patient's question:
Bacterial vaginosis, feeling swollen and itchy down there, a bit of pain when going to the toilet, don't want to go to the hospital for now. I want to ask what should I do about bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
First, pay attention to personal hygiene and clean the genital area. Use antimicrobial drugs such as metronidazole or tinidazole, ofloxacin, etc. It is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously to reduce the risk of recurrence. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. When having sex, both parties should wash their private parts to effectively prevent the occurrence of vaginitis. In fact, bacterial vaginosis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and appropriate treatment is administered, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
