Clinical manifestations of bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a gynecological inflammation, mainly caused by the invasion of pathogens. If you suffer from bacterial vaginosis, what obvious symptoms will the patient have? Let's take a look at it with the editor, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The typical clinical symptoms of this disease are a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin and homogeneous or thin and paste-like, grayish white, grayish yellow or milky yellow, and have a special fishy odor. Since alkaline prostatic fluid can cause the release of amines, the odor worsens during or after sexual intercourse. The pH value of the vagina increases during menstruation, so the odor may also worsen during or after menstruation. The patient has discomfort in the vulva, including varying degrees of vulvar itching, which generally has no obvious time limit, but the itching is more obvious when resting or under stress. There is also a varying degree of burning sensation when taking external medicine, and some patients experience dyspareunia. A very small number of patients experience lower abdominal pain, difficulty in sexual intercourse, and abnormal urination. The vaginal mucosal epithelium does not show obvious congestion at the onset of the disease.

This disease can often be combined with other vaginal sexually transmitted diseases, so its clinical manifestations may be affected by the complications. For example, when combined with gonococcal infection, vaginal discharge may be obviously purulent, and urinary tract irritation symptoms such as urinary pain and dysuria may occur; when combined with Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may appear, and itching may intensify and become extremely itchy; when combined with Candida infection, vaginal discharge may appear curd-like or tofu-like.
