Hello, is this bacterial vaginosis or candidiasis? How severe is the inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

According to your careful examination, it is bacterial vaginosis. Pay attention to sexual life and menstrual hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and change your underwear and laundry frequently. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Bacterial vaginosis tends to recur easily, especially before and after menstruation, so it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital gynecology department and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If it is not serious, it is recommended to use metronidazole effervescent tablets vaginally or take oral metronidazole tablets for a week and then re-examine the routine test of vaginal discharge.
