Can bacterial vaginosis cause high white blood cell count?

Patient's question:

Can bacterial vaginosis cause high white blood cell count?

Doctor's answer:

When doing a routine vaginal discharge test, the cells in the discharge will be enhanced, but it generally never interferes with the blood causing a decrease in white blood cells. For bacterial vaginosis, metronidazole suppositories can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, oral metronidazole or clindamycin can be taken together for combined anti-infection treatment. During the treatment period, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse, and to use warm water or Honghe rinse liquid to clean the external genitalia daily, always maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the lower body.
