5. Consultation on Bacterial Vaginosis

Q: Female, 27 years old, married but not pregnant, suffering from bacterial vaginosis that keeps recurring, especially after menstruation ends. Whenever she visits the gynecologist, the treatment only addresses the symptoms without tackling the root cause, so she has been hesitant to get pregnant. Are there any effective remedies?

A: Traditional Chinese medicine excels at treating bacterial vaginosis. It’s not necessary to wait until the vaginosis is completely cured before trying to conceive. This condition does not prevent pregnancy, as the placental barrier is very strong. In the past, rural women with vaginosis were still able to give birth to healthy babies.
