Is bacterial vaginosis (BV) re-examination required?

Patient's question:

Sudden bacterial vaginosis occurred later, and the medication was stopped after 7 days of treatment. Menstruation reappeared 3 days later. It has now subsided, but there is some discomfort in the urethra. Is a follow-up test still necessary?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a woman has vaginal inflammation, it can lead to urinary tract infections and other issues. Since you are currently experiencing discomfort in your urethra, it is recommended to get checked to see how it may be transmitted. After medication, a follow-up test is necessary to assess the situation. If there are bacteria present, stable treatment is required to prevent recurrence. If the condition has already been cured, there is no need to continue taking medication. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you good health.
