Patient's question:
Doctor: HelloI went to the hospital yesterday for a gynecological examination. The discharge test showed ++ pus cells (everything else is fine), and the doctor said it's vaginitis.
Could you please tell me what type of vaginitis this is and what medication should be used?
The medication the doctor prescribed is not very accurate. Can you explain this condition in detail for me?
Thank you very much for your help!
First follow-up question: How many days should I take ampicillin? Do I need suppositories?
Doctor's answer:
Hello:Diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.
Treatment for bacterial vaginosis:
1. Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Usage: Take 0.2-0.4g orally each time, 2-3 times a day, for 7 consecutive days. It can also be administered via intravenous infusion.
2. Amoxicillin
Usage: Take 0.5g orally each time, 3 times a day. It can also be diluted and administered via intravenous infusion in two divided doses of 6g per day.
Local treatment
1. Clean regularly to maintain local hygiene.
2. You can use 3% boric acid or dilute acetic acid to rinse the vagina, followed by rinsing with clean water to alleviate symptoms.
3. Using erythromycin solution for rinsing can also be effective.
4. Rinse the vagina with "Jie'eryin" or "Fu Yin Jie" internally, once a day or every other day.
Precautions:
Appropriate treatment should be provided to sexual partners, regardless of whether they show symptoms.
Bacterial vaginosis may coexist with other sexually transmitted diseases, and relevant examinations and corresponding treatments should be conducted.
