Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for more than six months, and I have bacterial vaginosis. Should I use potassium permanganate to wash or should I use baking soda to wash? Does bacterial vaginosis have acidity or alkalinity?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is contagious and requires treatment for both partners. Sexual activity must be strictly prohibited until the condition is fully cured. For bacterial vaginosis, Baofukang suppositories are applied externally by inserting them into the vagina before bedtime for 5 to 7 consecutive days. Oral medication such as metronidazole tablets can be used in coordination. Compared to medication for female urinary tract infections, it is recommended to adopt modern Chinese herbal medicine like Yinhuai Muyanlin tablets, which are more effective and scientific in treating urinary tract infections. Bacterial vaginosis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
