What to do if bacterial vaginosis recurs

Bacterial vaginosis is a gynecological disease caused by mixed infection of vaginal Gardnerella and some hypoxic bacteria. After suffering from vaginitis, the microecological balance in the vagina of women is disturbed. Symptoms may cause increased vaginal discharge, leucorrhea odor, vulvar itching, etc. So, what should we do if bacterial vaginosis recurs?

1. Maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as not taking a sitz bath during menstruation, not using strong alkaline soaps or vaginal washes, etc.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and towels frequently and hang them in a sunny or ventilated place. During the illness, underwear, towels and bathtubs should be disinfected or boiled. At home, shoes and socks should not be washed in the same basin or in the washing machine with other clothes, but should be washed separately to avoid the occurrence of candidal vaginitis.

3. Get rid of bad sexual habits.

4. Both men and women should be chaste and avoid sexual disorder.

5. Do not abuse antibiotics, because antibiotics can kill normal bacteria in the vagina, causing dysbacteriosis, which is conducive to the growth of fungi.

6. Fungal vaginitis is one of the sexually transmitted diseases. The spread and recurrence of fungal vaginitis are closely related to sexual activity. You should know that fungi can easily hide quietly in the husband's urethra. Under normal circumstances, they do not harass the husband and make him sick, but leave hidden dangers for the wife. When the wife's body resistance is low or the pH environment of the vagina changes, the bacteria begin to multiply in large numbers. In order to completely treat vaginitis, the couple must see a doctor, receive treatment, and take medicine at the same time. During the treatment, the couple should avoid sexual intercourse; after the laboratory test shows that the couple is not carrying pathogens, the consolidation treatment can be repeated.

7. The couple should be isolated during the illness and sexual intercourse should be suspended during treatment. Sexual intercourse can be resumed only after the symptoms are completely relieved and the treatment is over. However, the man should wear a condom, and the woman can stop using the condom only after the woman's leucorrhea test shows no fungus for three consecutive times.
