Nursing experience of bacterial vaginosis

When women are very busy in life and work, their health is also very important. When women suffer from bacterial vaginosis, they should first take regular treatment. Indiscriminate use of drugs will only aggravate the disease. So, what are the correct care methods for bacterial vaginosis? Please see below:

1. Women should change their underwear every day during illness, and it is best to choose underwear made of pure cotton.

2. Avoid frequent sexual intercourse, because the vaginal mucosa of postmenopausal women is thin and the elastic tissue in the vagina is reduced. Frequent sexual intercourse can damage the vaginal mucosa and blood vessels in the mucosa, allowing bacteria to invade.

3. Avoid using hot water to wash the vulva. Elderly bacterial vaginosis can cause vulvar itching. Female friends should avoid using hot water to wash the vulva. Although this can temporarily relieve vulvar itching, it will make the vulvar skin dry and rough, and the itching will become more obvious soon. It is advisable to use warm water when washing the vulva.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid excessive cleaning: Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the vulva with clean water every day, and do not use strong alkaline soaps or lotions to wash the vulva or vagina. Because the vulva skin of elderly women is generally dry and atrophied, frequent use of soap and other highly irritating cleaning products to wash the vulva will aggravate skin dryness, cause itching, and damage the vulva skin.

5. Avoid the indiscriminate use of drugs: Some women like to buy medicine at the pharmacy when they experience discomfort such as vulvar itching. Therefore, do not use drugs for treating fungi or Trichomonas indiscriminately, and do not treat vulvar bacterial vaginosis as vulvar eczema and use hormone ointments indiscriminately, as this will be counterproductive.

The above is all about the "correct care methods for bacterial vaginosis". I hope that more women can learn more about bacterial vaginosis, do a good job of care, and reduce the probability of bacterial vaginosis.
