Washing is healthier? Be careful of vaginitis!

The most common gynecological disease is vaginitis, which often recurs and can be very torturous! Let's talk about vaginitis today.

The vagina also has its own microecology

The female vaginal flora is a complex system, formed by the anatomical flora bacteria, the local immune and endocrine regulatory functions of the human body, and it has three lines of defense:

The first line of defense is a closed sac of labia majora, which act like a gate and are naturally installed in the front and back walls of the vagina. They keep bacteria out.

The second line of defense is the composition of more than 50 kinds of vaginal microorganisms, which restrain and interact with each other, described as "self-cleaning plants".

The third line of defense is the cervical mucus plug, which is like a regular thermos bottle stopper and prevents vaginal inflammation from spreading to the uterus.

But they are not static, they change with changes in sexual behavior and the body's immune status.

In healthy women, Lactobacillus is the dominant bacteria, which is very important for maintaining a healthy vaginal microecology and preventing vaginal infections. Once the dominance is no longer there, the ecological environment will be destroyed.

The vaginal microbial community resists the invasion of external pathogens. The disruption of the balance of the microbial community will affect women's reproductive health and even fertility.

Once suffering from vaginitis, many people do not want to seek medical treatment or take medicine for various reasons, such as being difficult to talk about or being shy, and they think of using flushing fluid to relieve the symptoms. This is the most common misunderstanding.

Is washing healthier? What difference does washing liquid make!

There are only a few types of cleansing liquids sold in supermarkets, with natural plant extracts as raw materials, such as XX for the care of women, and XX private parts shower gel. You can use it every day, but it is not very useful for basic vaginitis, and don't rinse it directly.

The vaginal wash in the pharmacy is more formal. If the wash is prescribed by a doctor, it has a certain therapeutic effect, but it is generally used as an auxiliary medicine. Please follow the doctor's advice and do not use it without authorization.

Improper cleaning, but delayed treatment!

When the pathogen is unknown, using detergent of unknown nature may "kill" our dominant bacteria and aggravate the condition!

Studies have found that the vaginal flora can be influenced by various behaviors: such as menstrual hygiene, birth control pills, vaginal medications, vaginal douching, sexual intercourse (normal intercourse, sex toys, G-spot injections), and cosmetic surgery (such as genital cosmetic surgery, pubic hair waxing, vaginal bleaching powder), which can tip the balance of the vaginal flora.

Various lotions, anti-itch creams, moisturizers/lubricants, and feminine wipes have emerged as the mainstream. Facing a variety of auxiliary drugs, we should keep our eyes open.

To take the right approach, the discomfort symptoms of increased secretions must be treated with scientific medicine, scientific examinations, and the use of specific drugs for different pathogens.
