Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a lot of leukorrhea recently, and my urine is also very yellow with a strong fishy odor. My external genital area is itchy and sometimes feels burning. It gets even worse during sexual intercourse with my husband. Is this vaginitis? Which type do I have? How should I be treated specifically?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial Vaginosis: Increased vaginal discharge, white or gray in color, with foam, and a special fishy odor. The odor becomes more severe during menstruation or sexual intercourse. Most cases are accompanied by itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia. Local medication is recommended. The main medications for treatment include metronidazole, clindamycin, etc. Local treatments can use metronidazole suppositories or clindamycin cream. During treatment, attention should be paid to:1. Both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited.
2. For those prone to recurrence, a combination of oral medication and local treatment is recommended.
3. Avoid wearing tight pants or underwear. Do not use unclean cleaning tools.
In addition to timely treatment for vaginitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease.
