What are the effective treatments for bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

However, the illness has recurred. I would like to ask all the doctors: Is it better to use intravenous anesthesia while applying suppositories, or to take medication while applying suppositories for bacterial vaginosis? I am planning to get pregnant, and this condition has been troubling me for a long time. Please provide an effective treatment plan for me.

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial vaginosis is generally related to a woman's estrogen levels, antibiotic use, and frequent sexual activity. The typical clinical diagnostic symptoms include a significant increase in abnormal vaginal discharge, which is thin, homogeneous, or mucous-like, appearing grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or milky-yellow with a distinctive fishy odor. Metronidazole: It is currently widely agreed that it has reliable efficacy and can be used. Regularly cleaning the vagina with vinegar or acidic solutions can stabilize symptoms and help control the condition. Metronidazole suppositories can also be placed inside the vagina. Avoid seafood and other pungent foods. Fish such as shrimp, cinnamon fish, and black fish can exacerbate damp-heat conditions and worsen external genital itching after consumption. Therefore, they should be avoided to promote the resolution of inflammation.
