What are the methods for detecting bacterial vaginosis?

What are the methods for detecting bacterial vaginosis? Bacterial vaginosis detection is a commonly used technology in medicine. Bacterial vaginosis detection is a means of examining gynecological diseases. What are the main methods? The following is a brief introduction. Bacterial infection has a relatively large impact on women's vagina, so women should pay attention to their personal hygiene and their lives.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by a decrease in normal flora (such as Lactobacillus) and an increase in anaerobic flora (such as Denerodia, Haemophilus influenzae, etc.) in bacteriology. In 1984, the international academic conference in Sweden officially named it "Bacterial Vaginosis". BV is one of the most common gynecological diseases, with an infection rate of 15% to 50% and is prone to recurrence.

The traditional gold standard for the diagnosis of BV includes:

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, homogeneous and thin;

2. Vaginal pH value>4.5 (normal value 4.7-5.7, mostly 5.0-5.5);

3. Amine test: Place vaginal secretions on a glass slide and add 1 to 2 drops of 10% potassium hydroxide. If a rotten fish-like odor is produced, it is positive.

4. Clue cell positive: Take a small amount of secretion and place it on a glass slide, add a drop of saline, and observe under a high-power microscope, clue cells can be seen (small granular substances attached to the outside of the epithelial cells).

If three of the above four items are positive, BV can be diagnosed.

The BV Blue Rapid Detection Kit is an improvement on the principle of the BV specific amine test. It uses micro-complex membrane technology and has the advantages of accuracy, simplicity, rapidity (results can be obtained in 5 minutes), and sensitivity. It has a high rate of compliance with the above-mentioned gold standard and has high clinical value. It is particularly suitable for screening and reexamination of BV.

Related to vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis has the following characteristics

1. Vaginal secretions are homogeneous and thin, 2. Vaginal pH is greater than 4.5, 3. Amine odor is positive, 4. Clue cells are positive. The treatment principle is a combination of systemic and local medication, such as 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution sitz bath, oral metronidazole, and the use of drugs such as clarithromycin and ampicillin. Generally, it will be cured in 7 days.

What are the methods for detecting bacterial vaginosis? Bacterial vaginosis detection is a test for female vaginal infection problems. It is very helpful for gynecological treatment. This method of bacterial vaginosis detection can detect some vaginal diseases, which greatly helps doctors to treat patients. In addition, patients also need to understand this method.
