Patient's question:
Around the beginning of this year, I noticed that my vaginal discharge had increased, and it became thin and watery. Sometimes, the color of my discharge turned yellow, accompanied by a fishy odor. There was also some itching in the vaginal area. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor diagnosed it as bacterial vaginosis.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, sexual activity is prohibited.Oral medication therapy:
Metronidazole: It is currently widely believed to have reliable efficacy. Take 2-3 times daily. If the dosage is high or to avoid gastrointestinal reactions, vitamin B6 can be added. The course of treatment is 7-10 days.
Miconazole (Monistat): Take 2 times daily for 3 days.
Local therapy:
Acetic acid and acidic solutions can be used to regularly rinse the vagina, which can improve symptoms.
