Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, it is important to maintain external genital hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse. Sexual activity must be prohibited during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis to prevent friction from intercourse that may cause vaginal congestion and exacerbate inflammation. After treatment is completed, a follow-up check of vaginal discharge should be conducted after the next menstrual period. Normal sexual activity can only be resumed if the discharge test is negative. The occurrence of bacterial vaginosis not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
