Patient's question:
21 years old, female. The doctor conducted a detailed examination and laboratory test of the vaginal discharge routine in the hospital for the past two weeks. The results showed bacterial vaginosis and vulvitis. After using the prescribed medication for a course, the effect was not significant. The medication was interrupted midway due to menstruation. During sexual intercourse, especially in the vulva and vagina, there was significant pain. What medication should be used and what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it's about clean water cleaning. This liquid can be used by the male to clean the external male genitalia. The usage is the same as yours, and it shouldn't be used excessively. Under normal circumstances, the bacteria in the vagina are in a balanced state and have self-cleaning functions. Therefore, medication should not be overused. Overuse can lead to an increase in self-cleaning ability, further disrupting the endocrine balance and worsening symptoms. Using lactobacillus capsules externally after finishing metronidazole suppositories can help increase the number of beneficial bacteria locally, which is more conducive to a complete recovery.
