Various treatments for bacterial vaginosis

For female friends, vaginitis is the most common and common gynecological disease, but do female friends know that if this disease cannot be treated and controlled in time, and the disease continues to spread, it may also cause a fatal threat to their life and health. Therefore, female friends must understand the types of vaginitis so that they can receive symptomatic treatment when they are ill.

Bacterial vaginitis is also known as nonspecific vaginitis, hemophilic vaginitis, corynebacterium vaginitis, hyperbaric bacterial vaginitis, Gao's bacterial vaginitis, etc. Bacterial vaginosis was named at an international conference in 1984. This disease is caused by a mixture of Gardnerella and some hyperbaric bacteria and may be related to sex. Infection is more common in people with disordered sexual relationships.

The main clinical manifestations are increased vaginal discharge and fishy odor. This is because of the special odor of the discharge. Whenever there is sexual intercourse or activity, the release of odor is promoted, and the odor is particularly obvious, because the vagina contains a large amount of amine substances, and the pH value of vaginal discharge increases accordingly; when the speculum embolism is used, the vaginal discharge increases, and it is grayish white and V-shaped. It is very strong, but there is an unpleasant odor in the vagina. The inflammation of the last wall is not obvious.

Four diagnostic criteria for bacterial vaginosis

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, very viscous, even pasty, uniform, but does not contain purulent discharge, and the amount is uncertain.

2. The secretion has a high ammonia content and a fishy smell. After sexual intercourse or activity, the odor is often aggravated by the release of amines. When 10% potassium hydroxide is added to the secretion, the amine odor will also be released.

3. Clue cells can be detected in wet smears of vaginal secretions.

4. The pH value of vaginal secretions increases from 5.0 to 5.5, while the pH value of normal people increases from 4.5 to 4.7.

Of the four criteria above, the diagnosis can be determined by more than three criteria, and the fourth criterion is necessary.

1. Fungal vaginitis, which is caused by the pathogen Candida albicans, often occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, diabetics and pregnant women. The main route of infection is sexual intercourse, bathing or contact with contaminated clothing. The main symptoms are tofu-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

2. Bacterial vaginitis, which is caused by the pathogen Gardnerella, can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. The prevalence of Gardnerella vaginitis is higher among people with promiscuous sexual relationships. In the acute stage, patients may experience increased vaginal discharge with a fishy or ammonia odor, dampness and discomfort in the vulva, often accompanied by vaginal burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and vulvar itching.

Treatment methods for vaginitis:

1. General treatment: Active treatment can eliminate susceptible factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid scratching. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, which has a good effect. Change underwear frequently and wash with warm water. Do not mix with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

2. Change the pH of the vagina: The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. The treatment for this type of vaginitis is to use alkaline solution to wash the vulva and vagina. It can change the pH of the vagina and inhibit the growth and reproduction of mold. You can use baking soda water to wash the vagina. After washing, wipe the vulva dry and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

3. Drug therapy: 1. Trichomonas vaginitis. The trichomonads of trichomonas vaginitis exist in the folds and glands of the cervix, and also in the urethra and intestines, so it should be treated both internally and externally. 2. Fungal vaginitis. The treatment of vaginitis can be to wash the vulva and vagina with soda solution or sit in a bath, and then combined with drug treatment. 4. Senile vaginitis. The treatment of senile vaginitis can be localized in the vagina. For those with severe inflammation, estrogen treatment is used.

4. Vaginal medication: Use some medications specifically for vaginitis. The specific use of medications should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions.

Modern medicine uses general treatment, drug therapy, and vaginal medication to treat vaginitis, and the results are very good. With the continuous development of modern medicine, the treatment method of changing the pH of the vagina is becoming more and more mature, so female friends can also use this method to help themselves recover as soon as possible and avoid repeated recurrences.
