Patient's question:
Check results bacterial vaginosis negative, but clitoral itching, what is the reasonDoctor's answer:
Hello, the typical clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include a significant increase in vaginal discharge, which appears thin, homogeneous, or mucous-like, and is grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or milky-yellow with a distinctive fishy odor. Additionally, there may be varying degrees of external genital itching. Bacterial vaginosis is primarily caused by a decline in estrogen levels, excessive use of antibiotics, overuse of alkaline liquids for vaginal irrigation, and frequent promiscuous sexual activity, leading to the overgrowth of pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and Gardnerella vaginalis, disrupting the vaginal microbial ecological balance.
