Patient's question:
I had a test for leukorrhea and routine urine examination in November 2011 (because I had pain when urinating), and the results showed bacterial vaginosis. The doctor prescribed effervescent tablets, ( is a typo, it should be "" which means "" in English), and anti-inflammatory medication! After a course of treatment (7 days), there was some improvement. Occasionally, I experienced itching during this period, but rinsing helped! However, in recent days, the itching in the vaginal area has returned, and today I feel a particularly strong burning sensation when urinating. I haven't had sexual intercourse for the past one to two weeks and have been very careful about hygiene! Could you please explain what's happening? Should I continue using the medication prescribed by the doctor, or do I need to take other medication? I mainly want to know how this recurrence occurred. Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a vaginal discharge examination.Medical Advice: You may currently have a recurrence of bacterial vaginosis, or it could be due to overuse of antibiotics leading to fungal vaginosis, also known as candidiasis. These two conditions require completely different treatments. If you have candidiasis and continue to use the previously prescribed antibiotics, it will worsen the condition. It is advised to have a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
