Patient's question:

In recent days, there has been an increase in leukorrhea, which is grayish-white in color. The vagina is swollen, red, and hot, with severe itching and discomfort. There is a fishy odor in the genital area, and the vaginal mucosa is congested. Medications have not been effective, so under the urging of my family, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed me with bacterial vaginosis and prescribed some medication, advising me to pay attention to genital hygiene.
