Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination for bacterial vaginosis. The doctor prescribed ornidazole suppositories (to be used at night) and lactobacillus live bacteria capsules for vaginal use (to be used during the day). After using them for a while, my vagina became itchier instead, so I stopped taking the medication. A few days after stopping, the itching stopped, but my period was delayed by 9 days that month. My discharge was slightly yellow and had a bad odor. I was worried about the condition. After that, I didn’t have any sexual activity. What could be the reason? I always feel like it hasn’t been fully treated, and I’m worried about other problems. What should I do if I still feel abnormal discharge after stopping treatment for bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis tends to recur easily and is difficult to cure with medication. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice and complete the prescribed course of treatment. Pay attention to sexual life and menstrual hygiene during daily life. Avoid: extremely cold, sour, spicy, and greasy foods, as well as smoking and alcohol. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Bacterial vaginosis is a condition that is not easy to alleviate. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in fighting bacterial vaginosis and believe that treatment will be effective.
