The best suppository for treating bacterial vaginitis
Disease description:
I have been experiencing some itching "down there" for the past couple of days, and my vaginal discharge has become somewhat clumpy, resembling tofu curds, and also appears slightly yellowish. I suspect it might be vaginitis. I would like to know what kind of vaginal suppository is generally most effective for treating this condition?

Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal dysbiosis condition, typically caused by a reduction in lactobacilli, which are part of the normal vaginal flora, and an overgrowth of other bacteria such as Gardnerella. Treatment for bacterial vaginosis usually involves the use of antibiotics to restore the normal bacterial balance in the vagina.
When selecting a suppository for treatment, doctors may recommend metronidazole suppositories, a broad-spectrum anti-anaerobic agent that is highly effective for treating bacterial vaginosis. As directed by a physician, the suppository is generally inserted into the vagina before bedtime and used continuously for 5 to 7 days. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment, as interaction between metronidazole and alcohol may cause discomfort.
Please note that consultation with a doctor is important before starting any medication, as individual conditions may vary and require personalized treatment plans. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided during treatment to prevent compromising treatment effectiveness or transmitting the infection to a partner.
