Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!I went to the hospital today for a routine vaginal discharge test. There were no trichomonas or yeast, but the self-cleaning ability was rated as level 2. The doctor said it was just mild inflammation. I want to get pregnant now, can I skip treatment?
What exactly is this condition? If treatment is needed, what medication should be used?
Follow-up question:
Doctor:
First of all, thank you!
I would like to ask one more thing—is bacterial infection referring to bacterial vaginosis?
You mentioned anti-inflammatory treatment. How is it generally treated? What medication is used? How long does it take?
Doctor's answer:
General vaginal cleanliness refers to the number of bacteria in the vagina. If the number increases, it should be a warning sign of the possibility of vaginitis. Your current vaginal cleanliness is degree II, so you should pay timely attention to external genital hygiene. Wash the external genitalia with clean water daily, wear pure cotton breathable underwear, wash and change frequently. Re-examine after two weeks, and use metronidazole suppositories for vaginal medication if necessary. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
