Abnormal leukorrhea, is it vaginitis? What type?

Patient's question:

Recently, the vaginal discharge has been different from usual—it's a bit more abundant, and the color is slightly yellowish-green. I feel itchy inside the vagina.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is bacterial vaginosis, which can be treated with metronidazole effervescent tablets. Pay attention to the following aspects.
1. Treat vaginitis with a 7-day course, and use at least one full course. After the next menstrual period, consolidate the treatment with another 1-week course.
2. During treatment, pay attention to washing underwear, towels, and bedding with boiling water, or exposing them to sunlight for disinfection. In terms of diet, it is best to eat light meals and avoid spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods.
3. Keep the external genital area clean and change underwear and wash the external genital area frequently.
