Treatment of bacterial vaginosis

For women who have sex, they must pay attention to protecting their vagina on a daily basis to avoid the possibility of vaginitis, especially bacterial vaginitis, and must take precautions. You should know that bacterial vaginosis is not only very easy to recur during treatment, but it is also contagious and can lead to cross-infection, which is not conducive to the treatment of bacterial vaginitis.

If a woman suffers from bacterial vaginosis, she will have typical symptoms, such as an unpleasant odor in her leucorrhea and vaginal itching, which will seriously trouble the lives of patients with bacterial vaginitis. Specific treatments for bacterial vaginosis are as follows:

1. General treatment

Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. Do not eat spicy foods. Change your underwear frequently and wash it with warm water. Do not mix it with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

2. Medication

(1) Metronidazole is currently considered to have reliable therapeutic effects and should be taken twice a day for 7 consecutive days.

(2) Methicillin (clomiphene) is used for 3 days.

(3) Thiamphenicol (Thiamycin) is effective against a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and has a good therapeutic effect on the growth of anaerobic bacteria, so it can also be used.

(4) Cleansing and ampicillin can also be used. In recent years, it has been advocated that no treatment is needed for asymptomatic people.

3. Local therapy

Topical medications can be used for treatment, such as metronidazole suppositories, once a night for 7 consecutive days.

4. Treatment of comorbidities

If other pathogens are detected, use medications targeting those pathogens to avoid the abuse of antibiotics. Pay attention to the medication for systemic conditions, and provide support and immunotherapy at the same time, and pay attention to adverse drug reactions.

5. Partner therapy

Male sex partners are treated at the same time.

The main treatments for bacterial vaginitis are the ones mentioned above. I hope that all patients can choose the treatment method that suits them according to the severity of their symptoms, and they must pay attention to the treatment of their sexual partners during treatment. Otherwise, even if you are cured, as long as you have sex with your sexual partner, bacterial vaginitis will recur.
