What are the causes of recurrent vaginitis in women?

Vaginitis is one of the most common gynecological inflammations. There are many types of vaginitis, the most common of which are candidal vaginitis (also known as candidal vaginitis), trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, etc. Vaginitis is not difficult to treat, but it is easy to relapse. Many patients have repeated treatments and relapses. So, why does vaginitis relapse?

Reason 1: Improper treatment methods The most common reason is improper treatment methods. All vaginitis is caused by infection with some pathogens (such as Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans, Streptococcus, etc.). However, under normal circumstances, there are a large number of beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria in the vagina, which will inhibit the reproduction and growth of these pathogens. Therefore, even if infected with these pathogens, it will not cause inflammation. However, once the vaginal environment is destroyed, the lactic acid bacteria are greatly reduced, and the natural enemies of these pathogens are gone, they will multiply in large numbers and cause inflammation.
Reason 2: Not persisting in the course of treatment Not persisting in the course of treatment and stopping when you see improvement is also a very important reason for the recurrence of vaginitis. Many patients feel that their symptoms have been alleviated after taking the medicine, such as less leucorrhea and less itchy vulva, and they think they are cured and stop persisting in treatment. In fact, this is a taboo.
Reason 3: Unauthorized medication. Many patients do not actively go to the hospital for treatment when they experience increased leucorrhea, vulvar itching and other discomforts. This is very wrong and sometimes even dangerous. Reason 4: Re-infection. The reasons for re-infection are mostly due to not paying attention to hygiene, taking a large amount of antibiotics, excessive vaginal washing, or suffering from diabetes, which may lead to vaginal flora imbalance and a large number of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the partner carries bacteria, which can be transmitted to women through sex.
