What should women do if they have vaginal bacterial infection?

Many reasons may cause different degrees of bacterial infection in women's vagina, thereby causing various gynecological inflammations. In addition to paying attention to daily hygiene, some effective treatments should be carried out in time to minimize the damage to the female body. Let us understand what methods should be taken for treatment when a female friend's vagina is found to have bacterial infection.

1. Be sure to complete the course of treatment prescribed by your doctor. For most patients, as long as the medication is used properly, the test results will be negative after a few days, but this does not mean that they are completely cured. In fact, some bacteria that have not been completely eliminated are hiding under the mucous membrane. They will come out again when the resistance is weak before and after the next menstrual period. Therefore, experts suggest that the true cure for bacterial vaginitis is that the test results must be negative for three consecutive months.

2. The husband or sexual partner should receive treatment at the same time. Bacterial vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual contact, so the husband or sexual partner is also likely to be infected with the disease. If not treated, it will cause repeated cross infection.

3. During the treatment of bacterial vaginitis, the vulva should be kept clean and sexual intercourse is prohibited. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited during the treatment of bacterial vaginitis to prevent the friction of sexual intercourse from causing vaginal congestion and aggravating the inflammation. After treatment, the leucorrhea should be checked again after the next menstruation, and sexual life can be resumed only if it is negative.

4. Be sure to "treat" daily necessities simultaneously. Towels and underwear can also be contaminated with pathogens. If they are not treated simultaneously, the results of treating bacterial vaginitis will be wasted. Therefore, towels and underwear should be thoroughly disinfected: boil them for 15 minutes and dry them in the sun. They should also be kept in a ventilated and dry place at other times.

When using medication to treat vaginal bacterial infection, it is best to use it under the guidance of a professional doctor. If the drug is abused for a long time, the body may develop drug resistance. There will be certain limitations in the choice of drugs in the later treatment of the disease, and long-term unreasonable treatment may aggravate the severity of the disease.
