Patient's question:
I had the check-up in March this year. The treatment is almost over, so I stopped it. Now I'm experiencing itching in the lower body. The check-up showed positive for mold and weakly positive for bacterial vaginosis. The Pap smear grade is I-Ⅱ. I'm currently using metronidazole effervescent tablets and oral metronidazole. I've been taking them intermittently for 4-5 days with no effect. What medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
The treatment plan for bacterial vaginosis includes oral metronidazole, which is the simplest and most effective option. Specific dosage can be consulted with a gynecologist. Wear breathable cotton underwear and change it frequently. Clean the vaginal area with clean water daily and maintain a positive mindset to avoid a decline in the body's immunity. The occurrence of bacterial vaginosis not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
