Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling itchy in my vagina, and there's a lot of discharge with a bad odor. After using disinfectant solution to wash, it didn't help much—the itching still persists. Later, I went to the hospital, and the doctor did a discharge test. It turned out I had bacterial vaginosis. They prescribed some internal and external medications, and after using them, my symptoms improved a lot. But I'm still worried about the condition coming back.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an infection with the pathogen Candida albicans. The main transmission routes are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms include cheesy white discharge and external genital itching. Antimicrobial treatment is required. After the patient's condition is cured, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, so as to completely eliminate the bacteria.
