Patient's question:
Carefully checked for bacterial vaginosis, the doctor prescribed medication, which has been quite effective. The local doctor said that using an acetic acid solution to rinse the vagina before taking the medication would make it more effective. So I used it yesterday, but after using it, I felt a burning pain in the vagina and noticed an increase in discharge today?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is not advisable to use such stimulating medication to perform vaginal irrigation. I recommend that you take oral medication instead and avoid using such irritating medication for irrigation. What color are the vaginal secretions now? For severe bacterial vaginosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
