Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My wife has had an increase in white discharge recently. According to her description, she always feels particularly itchy and painful, and there is a foul odor in her vagina. Taking medication hasn't helped, so I accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said she has bacterial vaginosis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If it is a bacterial infection, you can use some vaginal suppositories under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Using metronidazole suppositories as prescribed by the doctor is relatively effective. However, you should actively rest, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to any odor changes. It is also important to delay sexual activity to prevent cross-infection of the disease. Exposing your underwear to sunlight for sterilization in these days can be helpful. Avoid eating extremely cold foods, and after a few days, go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
