Bacterial vaginosis medication guide

As we all know, gynecological diseases are difficult to treat and are quite harmful. Among them, the most common one is bacterial vaginosis. There are many types of bacterial vaginosis. Before treatment, women must understand the type of bacterial vaginosis they have and avoid abusing drugs. I believe that many patients will make a mistake, that is, they abuse the wash solution after discovering vulvar itching, which makes the condition worse. Once again, we remind patients that there are certain principles for medication. Let’s learn about the medication instructions for patients with bacterial vaginosis.

Since the vagina is an open system, the treatment of bacterial vaginosis is mainly achieved through local medication. This vaginal medication method for treating bacterial vaginosis is not only simple and easy to operate, but also has a good therapeutic effect.

1. Be sure to persist in treatment: If you use suppositories due to bacterial vaginosis or cervicitis, you must strive for a complete cure. After treatment, you must still follow the doctor's advice to go to the hospital for a follow-up check. Don't stop because the symptoms have eased. If you don't cure it completely, it will easily relapse, and the bacteria will become resistant to the drug, affecting the efficacy.

2. Not taking the medication on time: For patients with gynecological inflammation such as bacterial vaginosis, it is best to follow the doctor's advice on the medication course when treating bacterial vaginosis. If the medication is not taken on time, the infection may recur and develop drug resistance, increasing the difficulty of treating bacterial vaginosis.

3. Don't believe in advertisements: For gynecological diseases such as bacterial vaginosis, different patients have different conditions, so the treatment drugs used are also different. Therefore, patients should understand the characteristics of the disease before buying medicines and choose medicines according to the symptoms. If you are not clear about the symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor will choose sensitive drugs for treatment based on the infected pathogens and the patient's physical signs. Don't blindly choose drugs according to advertisements.

4. Patients should not rely solely on Chinese patent medicines when taking medicines: Although some gynecological Chinese patent medicines have certain heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, these medicines are slow to take effect and are not targeted. When used, they can only be used as auxiliary treatments for chronic bacterial vaginosis and cannot be used as the first choice of treatment. For acute trichomonas, fungal, and bacterial infections, anti-trichomonal and antifungal drugs should be used first. Using Chinese patent medicines blindly will delay the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

5. Patients should not use a large amount of antibiotics: Some patients with bacterial vaginosis have a certain understanding of their condition, so they start taking antibiotics immediately after discovering the disease. In fact, excessive use of antibiotics will make the bacteria resistant, destroy the balance between vaginal flora, and prolong the treatment cycle. Especially when it comes to fungal infections, antibiotics will aggravate the symptoms of infection.

Women should not think that the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are mild, so their own resistance can fight the disease, because when the bacteria invade our vagina, the vaginal environment has been destroyed. At this time, if it is not controlled by medication, it is difficult to cure bacterial vaginosis.
