There are many dangers of menopause

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

Preventing vaginal inflammation during menopause:

Vaginitis, also known as atrophic vulvovaginitis, is a non-specific vulvovaginitis. 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. There may be private bleeding, pain and burning sensation in the private parts. If the vestibule and mucosa around the urethral orifice are involved, frequent urination and painful urination often occur.

What are the hazards of postmenopausal sex?

Postmenopausal women are "afraid and stay away" from normal sexual life due to physiological changes in their private parts, and find it difficult to have sexual intercourse, which leads to estrangement between the couple and it is not uncommon for the husband to ask for a divorce. Elderly vulvar inflammation is a common disease, which is closely related to sexual intercourse. It further affects the already diminished desire, and a few patients even terminate their sexual intercourse. Since mating can cause lacerations, pain, and bleeding in the private parts, the pleasure of mating disappears, and it is difficult to have a mating climax. When suffering from inflammation, burning pain or itching in the vulva can directly affect the interest in mating, and therefore refusing the husband's mating request can easily cause emotional disputes between the elderly couple.

It is generally not difficult to diagnose vulvar inflammation in the elderly. However, if the patient does not seek medical treatment in time, chronic inflammation may occur, which may lead to two results: one is fibrosis of connective tissue under the vaginal mucosa, which makes the vagina lose its elasticity and eventually leads to vaginal stenosis and scarring. The other is ulceration of the vaginal wall, which leads to vaginal adhesion. In severe cases, the vaginal stenosis or even atresia may occur. At this time, the increased secretions will not flow out smoothly, resulting in pus accumulation in the vagina or even in 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 vaginal inflammation may also be caused by trichomonas or candida. If these two types of vaginal inflammation are not diagnosed and treated in time, not only will the elderly woman suffer, but the spouse will also be infected. Elderly people have gone through menopause, and their private parts are very thin, unlike the elastic skin of women of childbearing age. When people get old, the whole body ages, and in this case, the resistance is also reduced. Moreover, the private parts, like the mouth, are connected to the outside, and are easily infected with bacteria and inflammation.

Sexual intercourse can prevent excessive shrinkage of the private parts: 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 adhesion of the private parts. Even if there is mild adhesion after healing, the penis can be expanded to separate it and prevent private parts from being closed. Frequent sexual intercourse can also prevent excessive shrinkage of the private parts, which is what we often say, use it or lose it. After healing, the leucorrhea disappears. Using private lubricants can eliminate pain during intercourse, 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.

Things to note for postmenopausal women:

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 troubles that lead to vulvar inflammation, so they should strengthen the protection of their bodies to prevent the invasion of gynecological diseases.
