Patient's question:
I have bacterial vaginosis. Hello, is the liquid for relieving symptoms and reducing pain, or should I see a doctor? Besides, why isn't it vulvar itching but vaginal itching?Doctor's answer:
When vaginitis is severe, it can affect fertility. In healthy women, the vagina has natural protective functions against pathogens due to the characteristics of the anatomical society. This includes the closure of the vaginal orifice, the close proximity of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls, the fibrosis and keratinization of vaginal epithelial cells under the influence of estrogen, and the maintenance of a constant pH of 4-5, which inhibits the adaptation of alkaline-recovering pathogens such as anaerobic bacteria. When the natural protective function of the vagina is compromised, pathogens are more easily infiltrated, leading to recurrent vaginitis. For vaginal medication, use some drugs for treatment, and after undergoing a thorough examination at the hospital, follow the doctor's advice.
