Patient's question:
I recently contracted bacterial vaginosis, and I always feel an unbearable itching inside the vagina. The frequency of using the restroom has been increasing and cannot be suppressed. There is a significant increase in vaginal discharge, which is also thick and sticky. It's especially painful. I've used vaginal cleaning products and bought medication from the pharmacy, but it keeps recurring. What should I do about bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis, which may be spread through sexual contact. It is recommended that you focus on medication treatment. You can buy some Jie'er Yin to rinse the vagina. Of course, you should always maintain clean external genitalia. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Your diet should be light, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Keep the external genitalia clean and dry. Do not scratch excessively, as this can easily promote bacterial growth and worsen the condition. Avoid scratching. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Change your underwear frequently, clean them with warm water, and avoid using ice water. Never wash them with other clothes to prevent cross-infection. If it does not improve after a long time, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a check-up. Treatment was performed this morning.
