Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Two days ago, I had a white discharge test, and the doctor said it was bacterial vaginosis.

Could you please tell me if bacterial vaginosis must be treated this way? Are there any other treatment methods?Auxiliary tests: Urinalysis normal
Current general condition: No other gynecological diseases
Doctor's answer:
