What causes vaginitis?

Vaginitis is a common gynecological disease characterized by increased vaginal discharge, which is mainly considered to be related to excessive cleaning, lack of attention to personal hygiene, pathogen infection, hormone imbalance, drug abuse and other causes.

1. Excessive cleaning: Although maintaining personal hygiene is important, excessive cleaning will disrupt the ecological balance inside the vagina, leading to a decrease in beneficial bacteria, thereby causing vaginitis.

2. Not paying attention to personal hygiene: Not changing underwear, not washing the vulva frequently, etc., may lead to bacterial growth and cause vaginitis. At the same time, using unclean or poorly disinfected sanitary products, such as toilet paper, sanitary napkins, panty liners, etc., can also easily cause vaginitis.

3. Pathogen infection: Mycoplasma infection such as bacteria and fungi will further cause vaginitis. This may be related to factors such as unclean water quality and unhygienic sexual life.

4. Hormone imbalance: Abnormal changes in hormone levels, such as fluctuations in hormone levels during pregnancy, postpartum period, menopause, etc., may lead to the occurrence of vaginitis.

5. Drug abuse: Improper use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs will disrupt the balance of vaginal flora and lead to vaginitis.

Note: In order to prevent the occurrence of vaginitis, women should maintain good living habits and hygiene habits, pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene, avoid the abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and seek medical treatment in time when symptoms occur.
