Patient's question:
Recurring gynecological inflammation that doesn't go away. Itching and odor in the lower body. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was bacterial vaginosis again. After each treatment, it comes back after a while. Both oral medications and topical medication suppositories cannot cure it. What should I do about the persistent bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Bacterial vaginosis is a relatively common type of vaginal infection, primarily caused by Gardnerella vaginalis and anaerobic bacteria, leading to a variety of symptoms. In terms of treatment, you can choose to take metronidazole orally while also using metronidazole suppositories for vaginal medication. It's important to be patient and continue medication for more than a week before re-examination. During the medication period, avoid sexual activity. If your sexual partner also has an infection, they should be actively treated to prevent cross-infection.
