Patient's question:
I used to have candidiasis, and now I have itching again. The doctor said it's a common vaginal infection. It's not trichomoniasis, nor is it candidiasis. Is it bacterial? I don't know how many types of vaginal infections there are in total?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is contagious. Sexual activity with bacterial vaginosis can lead to cross-infection. Oral medications such as metronidazole and cefixime tablets can be taken; combined with external-use solutions like Jie'er Yin, and attention should be paid to vaginal hygiene. Standardized medication and treatment for both partners are key to successful treatment. Additionally, underwear should be actively disinfected, and sexual activity should be avoided temporarily. It is also important to actively seek treatment.
