What tests need to be done to diagnose bacterial vaginosis

Patient's question:

I've been experiencing a lot of abnormal discharge recently, and it doesn't feel right. It's like a cloudy, white discharge with no odor. Additionally, my external genital area is extremely itchy, especially at night. It's a bit better during the day. I mentioned this to a friend, and they said it might be bacterial vaginosis.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, bacterial vaginosis generally has symptoms such as increased discharge and itching. It is usually diagnosed by a positive amine test and the presence of clue cells, which indicate bacterial vaginosis. It is mainly caused by poor immunity, sexual activity, public baths, saunas, etc. It needs to be treated promptly, usually with medication or (irrigation). During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. For specific advice, please consult the doctor who examined you. Wishing you good health.
