What are the best ways to prevent menopause?

Postmenopausal women sometimes experience vaginal itching, restlessness, and varying degrees of bloody discharge. Many people think that this is not the menstrual period again, but is it true? In this case, it may be related to vaginitis. If you do not seek medical attention as soon as possible, the condition will often become more serious.

Vaginitis should be prevented during menopause:

Senile vaginitis, also known as atrophic vaginitis, is a nonspecific vaginitis. When it occurs, it is often manifested by an increase in yellowish leucorrhea. In severe cases, there may be bloody and purulent leucorrhea. It often occurs in postmenopausal women. Vaginal bleeding, pain and burning sensation in the vagina may occur. If the vestibule and mucosa around the urethral opening are involved, frequent urination and painful urination often occur.

Postmenopausal women are "afraid and stay away" from normal sexual life due to physiological changes in the vagina, and find it difficult to have sex, which leads to marital rifts and it is not uncommon for husbands to ask for divorce. Senile vaginitis is a common disease, which is closely related to sex. It further affects the already diminished sexual desire, and a few patients even stop having sex. Since sexual intercourse can cause vaginal lacerations, pain, and bleeding, sexual pleasure disappears and orgasm is difficult to achieve. When suffering from inflammation, burning pain or itching in the vulva can directly affect sexual interest, and refusing the husband's sexual demands can easily cause emotional disputes between the elderly couple.

Senile vaginitis is generally not difficult to diagnose. However, if the patient does not seek medical treatment in time, chronic inflammation will occur, which may lead to two results: one is fibrosis of connective tissue under the vaginal mucosa, which makes the vagina lose elasticity and eventually forms vaginal stenosis and scars. The other is vaginal wall ulcers, leading to vaginal adhesions. In severe cases, vaginal stenosis or even atresia will occur. At this time, the increased secretions will not flow out smoothly, causing pus accumulation in the vagina or even the uterus, forming uterine cavity pyometra, making the inflammation more serious.

Your spouse may also be infected: In addition to bacteria, the pathogenic microorganisms that cause vaginitis may also be caused by Trichomonas or Candida. If these two types of vaginitis are not diagnosed and treated in time, not only will the elderly women suffer, but their spouses will also be infected. Elderly people have gone through menopause, and their vaginas are very thin, unlike the elastic vaginal skin of women of childbearing age. When people get old, their entire bodies age, and in this case, their resistance is reduced. Moreover, the vagina, like the mouth, is connected to the outside, and it is easy to be infected with bacteria and inflammation.

Sexual intercourse can prevent excessive vaginal atrophy: When older couples have sex, if the insertion is too dry, they can use lubricants or other clean lubricants to assist. Sexual intercourse is also the best way to prevent vaginal adhesion. Even if there is mild adhesion after healing, the penis can be expanded to separate it and prevent vaginal occlusion. Frequent sexual intercourse can also prevent excessive vaginal atrophy, which is what we often say, use it or lose it. After healing, the leucorrhea disappears. Using vaginal lubricants can eliminate sexual intercourse pain, sterilize, and prevent adhesion of the newly healed wound surface. When resuming sexual intercourse, the movements should be slow. In addition, the flirting period before sex should be longer to promote the secretion of mucus.

Postmenopausal women should also be careful about gynecological diseases. Not paying attention to changes in lifestyle habits, irregular diet and work and rest are all internal and external causes of vaginitis, so they should strengthen the protection of their bodies to prevent the invasion of gynecological diseases.
