Patient's question:
I feel extremely itchy outside my vagina after my period ends, and if I don't take medication, it will last for an entire month. It gets even worse when my next period comes. After sexual intercourse, it becomes even more severe, to the point where I don't even dare to have sex anymore. I want to ask if bacterial vaginosis and vaginal dysbiosis are the same condition?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis and vaginal flora imbalance are different concepts. In your case, it is considered to have psychological effects. If your cervix and vagina are normal, there is generally no problem. It is recommended that you do not use liquid to scrub, just use warm water, and appropriately implement psychological re-adjustment. Bacterial vaginosis is a very serious condition. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and hope that patients can respond to treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
