What are the reasons for frequent recurrence of vaginitis?

The main symptoms of vaginitis are increased foamy leucorrhea and vulvar itching. After a period of medication, the symptoms subside. However, what troubles most patients is that vaginitis often recurs and sometimes gets better and sometimes worse. Why is this?

1. Incomplete treatment

Irregular medication or incomplete treatment may cause recurrent attacks, sometimes mild and sometimes severe. Generally, medication should be continued for a period of time after improvement to consolidate the effect. Improvement of symptoms such as itching is often obvious one or two days after medication. Do not stop medication or take medication intermittently just because you feel better.

2. Ignoring the man’s examination and treatment

If the patient's husband does not receive timely examination and treatment, or does not pay attention to personal hygiene, it may also cause recurrent vaginitis in women and make it difficult to cure.

3. Taking large doses of antibiotics or having diabetes?

If the patient takes excessive doses of antibiotics or has diabetes at the same time, it may increase the risk of vaginal candidiasis, thereby increasing the chance of developing the disease. If antibiotics are not discontinued or blood sugar is not well controlled, women may suffer from recurrent disease.

4. Bad hygiene habits?

If you do not change your underwear frequently, do not pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals, or wash your underwear with other clothes, or hang your underwear in a dark, unventilated place, etc., vaginitis may recur and affect your recovery.
