Patient's question:
Culture of leukorrhea revealed Gram-negative bacteria. How should male infection be treated similarly?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection caused by an imbalance of normal vaginal flora. In bacterial vaginosis, lactobacilli decrease, while Gardnerella increases. Clinically, it presents with mild itching of the external genitalia, thin, homogeneous discharge with a fishy odor. A vaginal pH value greater than 4.5 is required for diagnosis. The first-line oral medication is metronidazole, while vaginal treatment involves metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets.
