What to do if you have vaginitis

What should I do if I have vaginitis?

Vaginitis is a common disease in gynecological clinics. Most vaginitis is treated with local medication. For bacterial vaginitis, you can choose metronidazole or clindamycin for local medication. If the condition is stubborn, you can choose oral metronidazole tablets. For candidiasis vaginitis, you should stop using the commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics, and use nystatin or clotrimazole suppositories locally in the vagina. For trichomoniasis vaginitis, you can use diazote suppositories or metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets locally in the vagina.

Causes:

The vaginal opening of normal women is often in a closed state, and the front and back walls of the vagina are closely attached to each other, making it difficult for pathogens to enter. The vagina is in a weakly acidic internal environment, and most pathogenic microorganisms are not easy to reproduce. The vagina is often parasitic with a variety of bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria are in a state of balance and will not cause disease. When the natural defense function of the vagina is destroyed or the flora is imbalanced, vaginal inflammation is likely to occur.

If for some reason the number of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina is greatly reduced, other bacteria will take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers, leading to bacterial vaginitis. If broad-spectrum antibiotics or drugs that suppress immune function are used in large quantities for a long time, it often leads to a large number of Candida in the vagina, forming Candida vaginitis. Trichomonas vaginitis is often caused by sexual contact. The acidity of the vaginal environment decreases before and after the menstrual period, and Trichomonas vaginalis is easy to produce and multiply in large numbers.

Precautions:

1. The female vulva has poor ventilation and secretions are relatively large, so it should be washed frequently with clean water. Also, care should be taken to carefully wash the vulva of both parties before and after sexual intercourse.

2. Young people should control the frequency of their sexual intercourse, generally not more than three times a week.

3. After defecation, you should wipe from front to back to avoid feces contaminating the vulva and causing infection.
