Medication issues for patients with bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a word that makes women feel very headache and resistant. For married women, its incidence rate is even higher. If you have this disease, it will cause considerable harm to your body and mind. Therefore, it is particularly important to have the correct treatment method.

1. Do not rely solely on Chinese patent medicines

Some gynecological Chinese patent medicines have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but they are generally slow to take effect and not very targeted. They are often used as auxiliary treatments for chronic gynecological inflammation and cannot be used as the first choice of treatment. For acute trichomonas, fungi, and bacterial infections, anti-trichomoniasis and antifungal drugs should be the first choice. Using Chinese patent medicine blindly may delay the condition.

2. Do not abuse vaginal suppositories

Using suppositories to treat inflammation without finding the cause will only make the condition worse. For example, in cases of acute trichomoniasis or fungal infection, corrosive vaginal suppositories should not be used; if it is acute bacterial vaginosis, the use of suppositories may cause the inflammation to spread.

3. Don’t buy medicine according to advertisements

Different bacterial vaginosis medications are used differently. Before buying medications, patients should understand the characteristics of the disease and choose medications accordingly. If you are not sure about the symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor will choose sensitive medications for treatment based on the infected pathogens and the patient's physical signs. Do not blindly choose medications based on advertisements.

4. Do not use large amounts of antibiotics

Some patients start taking antibiotics immediately after learning that they have bacterial vaginosis. In fact, excessive use of antibiotics can make bacteria resistant, destroy the balance between vaginal flora, and prolong the treatment cycle. In particular, antibiotics can aggravate the symptoms of fungal infection.
