Why does bacterial vaginosis occur?

Bacterial vaginosis may be caused by poor hygiene habits, abuse of antibiotics, overuse of anti-inflammatory drugs, low immune function or diabetes, etc., and requires targeted treatment based on specific factors. Patients are advised to seek medical attention in time to obtain appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

1. Unhygienic habits

Unhygienic habits lead to improper cleaning of the private parts, providing a favorable breeding environment for pathogens, thereby increasing the risk of infection. It is recommended to keep the vulva dry and clean and change underwear frequently to reduce bacterial growth.

2. Misuse of antibiotics

Abuse of antibiotics can lead to dysbiosis of normal flora, inhibition of beneficial bacteria, and proliferation of harmful bacteria, thus inducing bacterial vaginitis. Patients can take clindamycin phosphate tablets, metronidazole tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Overuse of anti-inflammatory drugs

Excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs will affect the normal flora in the body, which may lead to a decrease in lactobacilli and an increase in other anaerobic bacteria, resulting in bacterial vaginitis. Patients can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as compound metronidazole vaginal suppositories and tinidazole suppositories for treatment.

4. Weak immune function

When the immune function is low, the body's ability to fight infection is weakened, making it susceptible to bacterial invasion and reproduction, leading to bacterial vaginitis. For the cause of low immune function, such as HIV infection, the primary disease needs to be actively treated, and immunity can be improved by taking oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets, injectable thymopentin, etc.

5. Diabetes

The persistently high blood sugar level of diabetic patients is conducive to the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, which may cause genital tract infection, abnormal vaginal discharge, odor and other symptoms. Patients can follow the doctor's advice to control the stability of blood sugar levels by taking drugs such as insulin injection and insulin aspart 30 injection.

Patients need to have regular checkups to monitor changes in their condition. At the same time, excessive vaginal cleaning should be avoided to avoid disrupting the normal microecological environment.
