How to treat bacterial vaginosis

Patient's question:

At 14, my menstruation has been irregular, often missing periods by at least 7 days, sometimes for one or two months. Postpartum was abnormal, with a miscarriage occurring two months later. Last month, it was delayed by 7 days, and this month, it has been less than 7 days since the last period. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine, but it hasn't been effective. Vaginal inflammation always flares up.

Doctor's answer:

Except for early pregnancy, your condition can be treated with progesterone. Meanwhile, bacterial vaginosis is primarily treated with metronidazole, taken orally at a dose of 0.2-0.4g twice or three times a day. If a higher dose is required or to prevent gastrointestinal side effects, vitamin B6 can be provided for 7-10 days. It can also be used as an intravaginal medication. It may be periodically washed with vinegar and acidic solutions to alleviate symptoms. Metronidazole suppositories can also be used to relieve symptoms. Internally, once a night for a duration of one week. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, as it may severely interfere with the therapeutic effect or lead to cross-infection. Regular follow-up tests should be conducted during treatment to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.
