Patient's question:
My aunt said she has been experiencing severe itching in her external genital area recently. Every night, she uses very hot water to wash it, but it doesn't help at all. Additionally, she noticed a fishy odor in her vaginal discharge. She went to see a doctor and was told it's bacterial vaginosis, which requires treatment. So, she wants to ask how to completely cure bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. It is recommended that you maintain clean external genital hygiene at all times, avoid unsafe sexual practices, and do not perform vaginal douching or vaginal medication. You can use metronidazole vaginal suppositories, take nitrofurantoin orally, and use Kangfuyan for treatment. After the condition improves, go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the secretions. Once it has subsided, you can use lactobacillus capsules to restore the vaginal flora to prevent recurrence.
