Can vaginal microwave energy treatment be used for bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I developed vaginitis after childbirth and have been using Jie'er Yin for washing, but it hasn't been effective. I've also tried several suppositories, but the itching persists. A hospital suggested using vaginal internal microwave therapy.
Duration and persistence of the current illness: Four months
Current general condition: I just had a vaginal discharge test, and the results were: WBC: 16-19/AP, WBC miscellaneous bacteria:++, epithelial cells: +
Is the effect of this device good? I've heard it's very expensive, with 3-5 sessions needed for a complete cure. Should I go for it? Compared to medication, which is better?
