Is there a good chance of curing bacterial vaginosis?

Common methods for treating bacterial vaginitis. Bacterial vaginitis is a type of gynecological inflammation. The treatment of bacterial vaginitis requires the use of both oral and external treatments. Metronidazole is a specific drug for killing bacteria. So is there a high chance of curing bacterial vaginosis? How should it be treated?

(1) General treatment: During treatment, the vulva should be kept clean to prevent secondary bacterial infection. The vulva should be cleaned daily, and underwear should be changed and disinfected. During the acute phase, spicy food and alcohol should not be consumed. Sexual intercourse is prohibited, and spouses need to be treated together.

(2) Change the pH of the vagina: The pH suitable for bacterial growth is 5.5-6. Therefore, flushing the vagina with chlorhexidine acetate solution can lower the pH of the vagina and inhibit bacterial growth. Do this once a day for 10 days as a course of treatment.

(3) Vaginal medication: Apply one tablet of metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablet or metronidazole tablet to the vagina after flushing the vagina every night. One course of treatment is 10 days.

(4) Oral medication: Since bacteria not only reside in the vagina, but may also hide in the lower urinary tract, Bartholin's glands and cervical glands, local medication alone cannot play a therapeutic role in this case, so oral metronidazole is also required. At the same time, when the man is receiving treatment together, he mainly relies on oral metronidazole. Usage: Take 200 mg of metronidazole each time, 3 times a day, for 7 consecutive days. After taking this medicine, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and anorexia may occur. You can change to taking the medicine after meals; if you experience central nervous system symptoms such as mental confusion, dizziness, and headache, stop taking the medicine immediately. Topical medication can continue to be used.

(5) External washing with Chinese medicine: Using a decoction of Chinese herbal medicine that clears away heat and toxic substances, kills insects and relieves itching can significantly relieve vulvar inflammation caused by bacterial infection, especially for acute bacterial vaginitis. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has a very good effect in treating vaginal bacterial diseases.

The above is an introduction to common methods for treating bacterial vaginitis. I hope these can help patients with bacterial vaginitis.
