Bacterial vaginosis medication

Which drugs can effectively treat bacterial vaginosis? Bacterial vaginosis is a very common gynecological disease in life. For patients with bacterial vaginosis, being able to receive treatment in time is the key. With the continuous development and progress of medicine, there are many ways to treat bacterial vaginosis, such as drug treatment, etc. Generally, the effect of treating bacterial vaginosis is relatively good. So which drugs can effectively treat bacterial vaginosis? Let us give a detailed introduction to this issue below.

1. Western medicine treatment:

Systemic metronidazole, also known as metronidazole, can be given as a single dose to patients with early bacterial vaginosis and can also achieve the same effect. It has good oral absorption, high efficacy, low toxicity, and is easy to use. It can be used by both men and women. It is difficult to use local medication in the vagina of unmarried women, so systemic medication is convenient. Gastrointestinal reactions such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting are occasionally seen after taking the medication.

In addition, patients with bacterial vaginosis may occasionally experience headaches, rashes, leukopenia, etc. Once discovered, the drug should be stopped immediately. Metronidazole can enter the fetus through the placenta and can be excreted through breast milk. When taken in early pregnancy, the teratogenic effect on the fetus has not yet been ruled out, so it is not appropriate to use it in early pregnancy and during lactation. Local medication can also achieve good results. Metronidazole is inserted into the vagina once a night. If lactic acid or acetic acid is rinsed first to improve the vaginal environment, the efficacy will be improved. Because Trichomonas bacterial vaginosis often recurs after menstruation, when the trichomonas test is negative after treatment, the leucorrhea should still be checked after each menstruation. If it is negative after 3 tests, it can be called cured. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

If the test result of Trichomonas is negative after the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, the treatment should be continued for one course after the next menstruation, with the same method as before, to consolidate the effect. To avoid repeated infection, underwear and washing towels should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes to kill pathogens. Married people should also check whether the man has genital trichomoniasis and whether there is Trichomonas in the prostatic fluid. If positive, they need to be treated at the same time.
