Patient's question:
My leukorrhea has been abnormal for several years. Because I heard it is a common disease among women, I haven't treated it. If I want to treat and cure it now, is it easy?Doctor's answer:
How does Western medicine treat bacterial vaginosis? Gardnerella is an anaerobic rod, and the treatment primarily involves antibiotics targeting this condition. Common medications include:(1) Metronidazole: 0.2g per dose, three times daily. Take for 7 days. Also available for vaginal administration.
(2) Tetracycline: 0.5g per dose, four times daily, for 7 days. Tetracycline can also be administered vaginally, twice daily. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
(3) Trimethoprim: 0.2g per dose, twice daily, for 7 days.
(4) Sulfamethoxazole: A nitroimidazole drug, taken once daily at 1g per dose after meals, for 15 days.
(5) Ampicillin: 0.5g per dose, four times daily, for 7 days.
(6) Cefalexin: 0.5g per dose, four times daily, for 7 days.
When using any of these medications, vaginal irrigation with a 0.5% lactic acid or acetic acid solution should also be performed to restore the acidic environment of the vagina and inhibit the growth of the bacteria.
