How do bacteria invade the vagina? Check out the 4 high-risk factors that cause vaginitis

Vaginitis accounts for a large proportion of diseases in gynecological clinics. Many female friends feel embarrassed after suffering from vaginitis, thinking that it is caused by their dirty private parts. In fact, vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease. As long as everyone takes it seriously and goes to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible, it can almost be cured. However, if you are ashamed to talk about it or do not treat it well and do not receive regular treatment, it will lead to aggravation of the disease and cause other more serious consequences, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc.

Risk factors for vaginitis

Under normal circumstances, for healthy women, there are many kinds of microorganisms in the vagina, which are mutually restricted and exist in a harmonious and balanced environment. Once the harmonious coexistence of this microbial community is broken by some factors, pathogens will take the opportunity to invade the vagina and cause vaginitis.
1. The balance of the flora is broken <br/>Many women love cleanliness and often use vaginal washes to wash their private parts. However, they do not know that many vaginal washes sold on the market have pH values. If used casually, it is easy to destroy the balance of the normal flora in the vagina and easily cause vaginal inflammation. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to wash the private parts with clean water. Unless there are special circumstances, it is best to choose under the guidance of a professional gynecologist.
2. Bacteria invade the vagina <br/>When using the toilet, women will use paper towels to wipe gently. If the direction is wrong, such as from back to front after defecation, it is easy to bring bacteria in the feces into the vagina and cause vaginitis. In addition, many vaginitis are caused by sexual intercourse. If women have multiple sexual partners or do not pay attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse, it is also easy to cause vaginitis.

3. Providing convenience for bacterial reproduction and growth <br/>For women, there are always a few days of discomfort every month. During the days of "period", many women neglect to change sanitary napkins. Little do they know that if sanitary napkins are not changed for a long time, it will provide a good environment for the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the vagina. In addition, some women like to wear tight pants or chemical fiber underwear. These factors can easily make women's private parts airtight and also provide convenience for bacterial growth.
4. Decreased body resistance <br/>If women's resistance becomes poor, the vaginal environment may change, the flora may be imbalanced, and it is not surprising that vaginitis occurs. Especially candidal vaginitis is a conditional pathogen that often comes out to cause trouble when the body's immunity decreases. Therefore, taking a good rest, maintaining a balanced diet, and doing some exercise regularly are helpful to maintain the body's normal resistance and prevent the occurrence of vaginitis.

Many women suspect that they have vaginitis, but are unwilling to go to the hospital. They want to know whether vaginitis can be cured at home with medication. In fact, if it is not caused by bacterial infection, but by dysbiosis, it is possible to recover by maintaining good living habits, paying attention to hygiene, and eating healthy and nutritious food. However, for candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis and other bacterial infections, they generally will not recover by themselves, and you need to go to the hospital in time to ask for help from a doctor. For uncertain situations, it is recommended to see a doctor in time for examination and not to take medicine at will.
