Will bacterial vaginosis heal on its own?

Bacterial vaginosis is bacterial vaginosis, which is a gynecological disease mainly caused by infection with various pathogens. After suffering from bacterial vulvar disease, there will be symptoms such as itching and abnormal leucorrhea. Some of these diseases are relatively private, so many women are unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment, but instead hope that the disease can heal itself. So, will bacterial vaginal disease heal itself? Let’s take a look below.

For some patients with bacterial vaginitis, if the symptoms are relatively mild, the vaginitis can heal itself due to the self-cleaning function of the vagina, such as mild itching of the vulva and slight changes in the characteristics of leucorrhea. In this case, you can flush symptomatically, wash the vulva frequently, pay attention to sleep, and the vaginitis may heal itself; if during this treatment process, the vulvar symptoms worsen, the secretions increase, and the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible; if the patient's symptoms are relatively severe and the chance of relief is still relatively small, you must go to the hospital and let the doctor treat it with medication.
