Patient's question:
I have bacterial vaginosis. My discharge is particularly heavy, and it has a foul fishy odor. Sometimes after exercise or sitting for a long time, the smell becomes even stronger, and it feels like the whole body has that smell. What should I pay attention to during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, it is important to maintain external genital hygiene at all times, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. The treatment of bacterial vaginosis is primarily based on medication, although it is simple, patients with bacterial vaginosis must take medication under the guidance of a doctor, scientifically and standardizedly, and must not take medication blindly. The mechanism is that its hydroxylation and decomposition metabolism have inhibitory effects on bacteria, and it can clearly eliminate the anaerobic environment, making it previously conducive to the growth of lactobacilli, which is beneficial to the re-establishment of the normal vaginal flora. For severe bacterial vaginosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and start treatment immediately according to the doctor's advice. Do not change medications arbitrarily, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive.
