What are the clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

In daily life, touching toilet seats in public toilets that are contaminated with bacteria and using unclean toilet paper may cause bacterial infection. Women must pay attention to these hygiene aspects, and there are some symptoms of bacterial vaginosis that we should pay attention to. This disease can also lead to infertility, so what symptoms do we need to pay special attention to?

Typical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin, homogeneous or thin, pasty, 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 will worsen during or after sexual intercourse. The pH value of the vagina increases during menstruation, so the odor may also increase 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. Bacterial vaginosis can also cause varying degrees of external burning sensation, and some patients experience pain during sexual intercourse. Very few patients experience lower abdominal pain, difficulty in sexual intercourse, and abnormal urination. The vaginal mucosal epithelium shows no obvious congestion when the disease occurs.

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

Through the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis introduced by the editor above, you now have more or less understanding. We understand the symptoms of vaginitis, and we must also pay attention to prevention in our daily lives and develop a good habit of washing hands frequently before going to the toilet, so that we can achieve early detection and early treatment. Avoid worsening of the condition and increase difficulty of later treatment.
