1. Oral medication therapy

a. Metronidazole: It is generally believed to have reliable therapeutic effects. The dosage is 0.2-0.4 grams orally each time, 2-3 times a day. If the dose is large or to avoid gastrointestinal reactions, vitamin B6 can be added and the course of treatment is 7 to 10 days.

b. Methicillin (clomiphene): 2 tablets each time, twice a day, for 3 days.

c. Thiamphenicol (Hydroxythiomycin): It is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and has a good therapeutic effect on the growth of anaerobic bacteria, so it can also be used. The dosage is 10 tablets each time, or 1-2 tablets each time, 3 times a day, for 3 days.

In addition, chloramphenicol and ampicillin can also be used. However, long-term and large-scale use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is not recommended to avoid causing imbalance in normal vaginal flora. Some people also argue that asymptomatic people do not need treatment.

2. Local therapy

You can use vinegar and acidic solutions to flush the vagina regularly, which can improve symptoms and help control the disease. You can also use metronidazole suppository and put it in the vagina, one every night for one week.

3. Treatment of comorbidities

If other pathogens are detected, medication should be used to target these pathogens, but the abuse of antibiotics should be avoided. When selecting drugs for reproductive tract or other systems, attention should be paid to the systemic condition of the drug. Supportive and immune-enhancing therapies can be used at the same time, and attention should be paid to adverse drug reactions.

4. Treatment of sexual partners

Some advocate that male sexual partners take a course of medication at the same time, but there are also reports that this treatment does not prevent relapses in female patients.
