Bacterial vaginosis, how is it treated?

Patient's question:

How is bacterial vaginosis usually treated?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis is clinically characterized by changes in vaginal discharge and symptoms such as itching, burning, and pain in the external genitalia. Pain during intercourse is also common. If the urethra is affected, symptoms such as dysuria and urinary urgency may occur.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that you maintain a positive mood as psychological factors can also weaken the immune system. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. Use separate towels and basins for cleaning the external genitalia. After washing, hang underwear in the sun to dry, rather than leaving it in the bathroom. Clothing should be breathable, and avoid wearing pantyhose or tight jeans continuously.
