Patient's question:
I recently felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. It was found that I have bacterial vaginosis. I want to ask if silver ear cleaning (Yin'er Jie) and Aixinmi can be used interchangeably for bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Both are silver ion antimicrobial agents, so one can be used. Generally, for bacterial vaginosis, tetracycline suppositories or metronidazole suppositories are used externally. It is essential to take oral metronidazole 400mg twice a day for seven days. Those without symptoms after treatment do not need routine follow-up. For persistent symptoms or recurring symptoms, a check-up is required to understand the treatment. Maintain a good routine and increase physical exercise during daily life to enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
