Patient's question:
Doctor, my period just ended a few days ago, and I've been experiencing some vaginal itching. I went to the hospital for a vaginal discharge test, and the results showed cleanliness as zv, with the result being Bv (positive). The doctor diagnosed me with bacterial vaginosis and prescribed medication, but it hasn't been very effective. Could you please advise on how to handle bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is one of the common gynecological diseases among married women. This condition can be caused by bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Bacteroides fragilis, Gardnerella vaginalis, and others. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments can be tried:1. Polyporus sinensis, Poria cocos, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, and Cortex Moutan each 15 grams, Alisma orientale, Phellodendron amurense, Gardenia jasminoides, Terminalia chebula, and Plantago asiatica () each 10 grams, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis 6 grams.
2. Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Dioscorea opposita, and Coix lacryma-jobi (raw) each 15 grams, Citrus reticulata, and Poria cocos each 10 grams.
In addition to timely treatment for bacterial vaginosis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can their immunity be reduced and their ability to combat the illness be strengthened.
