Patient's question:
How is bacterial vaginosis treated? Colposcopy shows white discharge stuck inside, with cervical erosion, and no children yetDoctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis, which can be transmitted through sexual contact. Bacterial vaginosis is a condition resulting from an imbalance in the vaginal ecosystem, characterized by an increase in Gardnerella vaginalis and anaerobic bacteria, while lactobacilli decrease. It is important to note that healthy women can also harbor Gardnerella vaginalis in their vaginas. The occurrence of bacterial vaginosis not only affects the health of the patient but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, dietary management should be paid attention to, with a focus on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided.
