Three main predisposing factors of vaginitis in the elderly

The cause of vaginitis in the elderly is mostly due to improper use of medication, which is often related to some bad living habits of women when they were young. Our experts have also conducted detailed research in this regard and believe that the causes of vaginitis in the elderly are mainly the following three aspects.

1. Liver and kidney yin deficiency and old age

Elderly people have liver and kidney yin deficiency, old age, physical weakness, insufficient essence and blood, liver and kidney deficiency, Chong and Ren meridians are weak, belt meridians are out of order, body fluids leak out from below, and the amount of vaginal discharge is large, causing senile vaginitis. Yin deficiency and fire are strong, burning the meridians, forcing blood to flow out, and then the vagina is mixed with blood, and there is burning and pain in the vagina. Yin blood is insufficient, the yin orifices must be nourished first, and wind and dryness will cause vaginal itching.

2. Long-term use of contraceptive pills

Long-term use of birth control pills can easily lead to vaginitis. The estrogen in birth control pills can promote the formation of fungal hyphae, causing it to further invade the vagina. Therefore, this is one of the causes of vaginitis. The cause of vaginitis is related to the large-scale use of antibiotics. However, while antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria, they also inhibit some beneficial bacteria, which increases the probability of vaginitis infection.

3. Frequent or long-term use of antibiotics

The causes of vaginitis include repeated destruction of the restrictive relationship between vaginal flora, which allows Candida to grow vigorously. Failure to take medication seriously and fail to treat thoroughly after the occurrence of candidal vaginitis is an important reason for the recurrence of the disease. Sexual life is also a cause of candidal vaginitis in women, especially some women who have frequent sexual life, unclean sexual life, too many sexual partners, etc., which can cause gynecological diseases.

I believe that through the introduction of this article, everyone has a better understanding of the causes of vaginitis in the elderly. Vaginitis is also a relatively common gynecological disease. In view of the causes of vaginitis, female friends should pay more attention to prevention in daily life and actively cooperate with treatment.
