How to treat a fishy odor in leukorrhea

Patient's question:

I had bacterial vaginosis in April of this year, and it hasn't fully healed yet. Now, my discharge is abundant and has a fishy odor. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, there were no bacteria detected, and the doctor said it was nothing and didn't prescribe any medication. However, it occasionally itches. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation should be a symptom of incomplete recovery from vaginitis. You can use ofloxacin or azithromycin for treatment, combined with a sitz bath using potassium permanganate solution to alleviate the condition. Pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits and avoid raw, cold, and spicy, irritating foods.
The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, cold, and irritating foods.
