What happens to bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

BV is the abbreviation of bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis can be caused by vaginal douching, poor personal hygiene, frequent sexual activity, etc. Patients are advised to seek timely treatment.

1. Vaginal douching: Bacterial vaginitis is one of the common vaginal inflammations. It may be caused by patients douching the vagina with water or detergent for a long time, which destroys the vaginal microenvironment and causes excessive growth of anaerobic bacteria, thus leading to the occurrence of bacterial vaginitis.

2. Poor personal hygiene: If the patient does not pay attention to personal hygiene, a large number of bacteria will multiply locally. When the bacteria invade, they will destroy the tissues, leading to the occurrence of the disease.

3. Frequent sexual life: If the patient has sexual life too frequently, it may lead to a decrease in his or her immunity. The risk of disease will increase with the increase in the frequency of sexual intercourse, thus causing the patient to become ill.

In addition to the above common causes, it may also be menstrual intercourse. When the patient is sick, the vaginal discharge will increase, appearing grayish white, thin, etc., and it will worsen after sexual intercourse. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment can be carried out with drugs such as metronidazole tablets, clindamycin hydrochloride tablets, and amoxicillin capsules to promote recovery from the disease. During the treatment process, it is also necessary to take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's advice, and avoid taking the medicine blindly, so as not to affect the treatment effect.
