How is bacterial vaginosis treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I previously had itching below and had cheesy-like discharge. Yesterday, I went to the Eighth People's Hospital for a thorough examination. The test results showed no yeast-like fungi, no trichomonas, positive hydrogen peroxide, positive sialidase, and ++ white blood cell esterase, confirming bacterial vaginosis. I was prescribed Honghe Fugjie Wash, O effervescent tablets, and O tablets. Last night, after using the wash and effervescent tablets, my vulva was very itchy, I couldn't sleep, and there was white cheesy discharge coming out. What kind of help do you need: I would like to ask if such symptoms are normal. Do I still need to take these medications diligently?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Based on your description, it is considered to be candidiasis. For candidiasis, it is important to determine the drug sensitivity, follow standardized treatment, actively treat, completely eliminate the cause, and prevent itching. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If you have a sexual partner, it is recommended to get tested and treated together.
It is advised to visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination and take corresponding measures under the guidance of a doctor to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
