Overview of Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a common disease among female friends. The main cause of its onset is infection caused by bacteria in the vagina. However, there are many bad habits in real life that can lead to bacterial vaginosis. So, what is bacterial vaginosis? In response to this question, the following editor will introduce the causes of bacterial vaginosis.

Bacterial vaginosis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, and is a common disease in gynecological clinics. Due to the anatomical and biochemical characteristics of normal healthy women, the vagina has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens. When the natural defense function of the vagina is destroyed, pathogens can easily invade, leading to bacterial vaginosis. There are many causes of bacterial vaginosis, but many women do not know much about it. So, what is bacterial vaginosis? The main causes of bacterial vaginosis are as follows:

1. Long-term use of birth control pills by women may also be the cause of bacterial vaginosis, because the estrogen in birth control pills can promote the formation of fungal hyphae, causing it to further invade the vaginal tissue, which can easily cause bacterial vaginosis.

2. If women do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it can also cause bacterial vaginosis. For example, not cleaning the genitals, not washing and changing underwear frequently, etc., these can easily cause bacterial vaginosis. In addition, tight pants that girls love to wear may also cause bacterial vaginosis.

3. Abuse of antibiotics. Many women believe that the use of antibiotics can improve the body's immunity, but this is actually wrong. Even if you are infected with bacterial vaginosis, you should not use too many antibiotics for treatment. Because while antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria, they also inhibit some beneficial bacteria, and the uninhibited and foreign drug-resistant bacteria will take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers, which increases the probability of bacterial vaginosis infection.

4. Excessive cleaning can also lead to the onset of disease. If you frequently use medicated cleansers or lotions to clean the vulva, it is easy to destroy the inherent environment of the vagina, reduce the vagina's self-antibacterial ability, and easily lead to bacterial vaginosis.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to what bacterial vaginosis is. In daily life, female friends should learn more about the prevention methods of bacterial vaginosis. When suspected symptoms appear, they should seek medical attention in time, find out the cause, and diagnose and treat the disease under the guidance of a professional physician. At the same time, they should maintain healthy living habits and an optimistic attitude, and strive for a speedy recovery.
