Causes of bacterial vaginosis

There are many types of bacterial vaginosis, and bacterial vaginosis is a common one among them. It also poses serious harm to women's health. The following describes the causes of bacterial vaginosis for you, hoping that it will help you prevent bacterial vaginosis.

Causes of bacterial vaginosis include:

1. Women with diabetes or pregnant women. Due to the increase in glycogen content in vaginal epithelial cells, the acidity in the vagina increases, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans and the onset of disease. For pregnant women, once intrauterine infection occurs, it will lead to premature rupture of membranes and premature birth of pregnant women.

2. Abuse of antibiotics. It will inhibit lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, and cause damage to the microenvironment in the vagina, leading to the onset of gynecological inflammation and candidal bacterial vaginosis. Therefore, the abuse of antibiotics has become one of the causes of bacterial vaginosis.

3. Bad hygiene habits. When using the toilet, wiping the toilet paper from the anus to the urethra will bring the intestinal fungi to the vulva, causing inflammation; washing underwear and socks together; sharing a bathtub with patients with bacterial vaginosis; wearing other people's underwear, etc., can also cause cross infection. These are common clinical causes of bacterial vaginosis.

4. Decreased human resistance is one of the causes of bacterial vaginosis. Candida albicans lurks in the human oropharynx, intestines, skin and vaginal mucosa, coexists peacefully with the human body, and does not cause disease. However, when the human body's resistance is reduced, or suffers from a serious disease, or has a vitamin B deficiency, or uses immunosuppressants for a long time, bacterial vaginosis is more likely to occur.

The above are the causes of bacterial vaginosis. I hope it will help you understand bacterial vaginosis and avoid unnecessary trouble caused by bacterial vaginosis.
