Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My wife has had an increase in white discharge recently. According to her own description, she always feels particularly itchy and painful, and there is a foul odor in her vagina. Even after taking medication, it hasn't helped. I accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said she has bacterial vaginosis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If it is a bacterial infection, you can use some vaginal suppositories under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Using metronidazole suppositories as prescribed by the doctor is relatively effective. However, you should actively rest, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to any odor changes. Also, delay sexual activity to prevent cross-infection of the disease. Exposing your underwear to sunlight for sterilization in these days can be helpful. Avoid eating extremely cold foods, and go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup after a few days.
