1. A positive proline aminopeptidase test indicates the possibility of bacterial vaginosis. Most patients experience symptoms such as increased secretions, odor, perineum itching, and lower abdominal discomfort. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examinations such as secretion and drug sensitivity tests. After the cause of the disease is determined, symptomatic treatment should be received under the guidance of a doctor. Treatment is with oral antibiotics, lactobacillus vaginal capsules, potassium permanganate sitz baths, and vaginal medication. You should also pay attention to personal hygiene, especially during menstruation, change underwear frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

In this case, it is recommended to use Fuyanjie or Honghe Wash to clean the vulva, and then place Baofukang suppository in the vagina, one suppository every night for one week. Pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum. You can clean the perineum with warm water every night. Do not use cleansing liquid frequently. It is best to boil and disinfect the underwear after cleaning and expose it to the sun. In addition, do not eat raw, cold or irritating foods, and do not have sex during menstruation to avoid infection.

Proline peptidase (PLD) or proline peptidase is a kind of imino peptidase widely present in human tissues and cells. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptides containing C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline, and plays an important role in the recycling of proline in collagen synthesis and cell growth. Changes in its blood levels are closely related to the degree of liver damage and the chronicity of liver disease.
