Prevention of vaginitis

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, and is a common disease in gynecological clinics. Although vaginitis is a common disease among women, it may cause more serious gynecological diseases and even cancer, so vaginitis should not be taken lightly. So, what are the ways to prevent vaginitis?

When women have health problems or the natural defense function of the vagina is damaged, pathogens can easily invade and cause this disease. Clinically, vaginitis is characterized by changes in the properties of leucorrhea and itching and burning pain in the vulva. Pain during sexual intercourse is also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be symptoms such as urinary pain and urgency. Common vaginitis includes bacterial vaginitis, trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis.

Since the onset of vaginitis is mainly related to personal hygiene and mutual infection, you should pay attention to cleanliness, prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, eliminate the source of infection, strengthen your physical fitness, and prevent recurrence.

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry; wash and change underwear frequently, do not share bath towels or bathtubs with others, do not wear underwear made of nylon or similar fabrics, and bath towels and underwear used during illness should be boiled and disinfected.

2. Strengthen health publicity, and conduct regular censuses and treatments for female workers and students in factories, institutions, and residents, especially in dormitories, to eliminate sources of infection.

3. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, or condoms should be used to prevent cross infection. Vaginal medication and sitz baths should be avoided during menstruation. Patients with recurrent episodes should have their husband's urine and prostate fluid checked, and if necessary, repeated checks should be conducted. If positive, both should be treated.

4. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy food to avoid dampness and heat or damage to Yin blood. Pay attention to dietary nutrition and strengthen your physical fitness to drive away evil spirits.

5. Give up the abuse of antibiotics: Do you take antibiotics for cough, fever, headache? Little do you know that antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, and mold will take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with caution.

6. Wash underwear separately: Mold can multiply in large numbers on the skin surface, gastrointestinal tract, nails, etc. If your family members or yourself suffer from tinea pedis, onychomycosis, etc., it is easy to cause cross infection of mold. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately.

7. Avoid excessive cleaning: Frequent use of acidic gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfected pads, etc. can easily create a moist and acidic environment that breeds mold. Gynecological cleaning products with weak alkaline formulas are more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.

8. Pay attention to care during pregnancy: During pregnancy, sex hormone levels, glycogen and acidity in the vagina will increase, making it easy to be invaded by fungi. For pregnant women, oral medications should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.

9. Be wary of washing machines: There is mold hidden in almost every washing tub! And the more frequently you use the washing machine, the more mold there will be! But don't worry, there is a killer way to deal with mold in the washing machine that never fails: clean the washing tub with hot water at about 60°C.

10. Pay attention to the hygiene of public places: There may be a lot of mold hidden in public places. When you go out, do not use the hotel bathtub, wear long pajamas, put toilet paper on the toilet, etc. At the same time, choose appropriate personal cleaning and care products.

11. Correct contraception: Estrogen in contraceptive pills can promote fungal invasion. If you have recurrent fungal vaginitis, try not to use contraceptive pills.

12. Treat your partner together: If you are infected with candidal vaginitis, not only you but also your partner needs treatment, so that the expected therapeutic effect can be achieved.

13. Wearing pure cotton underwear: Tight synthetic underwear will increase the local temperature and humidity of the vagina, which is a "living" environment that mold applauds. So you should use cotton underwear.

14. Control blood sugar and use alkaline products to clean the vulva: The glycogen content and acidity of the vagina of female diabetics are high, which is easy to be invaded by mold. Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, you should also pay attention to cleaning the vulva and choose products with weakly alkaline pH.

15. Do not abuse antibiotics and washes: From the current point of view, the abuse of antibiotics and washes are the two most important reasons for the imbalance of female vaginal flora. The abuse of antibiotics has many side effects. In addition to causing drug resistance and damaging the liver, kidneys, and hematopoietic system, the biggest harm to women is that it can cause vaginal flora imbalance - killing lactobacilli and breeding mold. In addition, more and more women choose to use washes to clean their private parts, but they don’t know that this practice is more likely to destroy the acidity and alkalinity of the vaginal environment, disrupt the normal flora, and then cause or aggravate various vaginal inflammations.

16. Do not frequently use soap or shower gel to clean the vulva: Many women use soap or shower gel to clean the vulva together with the vulva when taking a shower every day. Over time, this will cause the vulva to dry out, thus destroying the balance of vaginal flora. Therefore, the best way to protect your private parts is to wash them with warm water every day and avoid contact with soap and other bath products.

17. Women should take in sugar in a reasonable amount: Eating too much sweets will cause excessive sugar in the body and produce a lot of acid, which will also change the normal weakly acidic environment in the female vagina, causing excessive growth and reproduction of mold. Clinical statistics also show that 90% of female patients have a lower chance of vaginitis after reducing their daily sugar intake.

18. Don’t sit for long periods of time, don’t wear tight pants, and use fewer panty liners: Sitting for long periods of time, wearing tight pants, and using panty liners will cause women’s private parts to be often in a humid and warm environment. In addition, poor air circulation and heat dissipation are particularly suitable for mold growth. Over time, vaginal flora imbalance will occur. In particular, some panty liners are added with anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drug ingredients. For healthy women, while killing vaginal pathogens, they will also damage beneficial bacteria, causing vaginal flora disorder.

19. Women should take part in more physical exercise: When women suffer from colds and other diseases, their body resistance decreases, and pathogens such as vaginal fungi will "rise up". Therefore, it is recommended that women take part in regular physical exercise to maintain their body resistance at a high level.

20. Women should not use contraceptive pills for a long time. The estrogen in contraceptive pills can promote the formation of fungal hyphae, causing it to further invade the vaginal tissue and easily cause fungal vaginitis.

21. Do not use sanitary pads during non-menstrual periods. Avoid keeping the vulva in a hot, humid, and airtight environment for a long time, as this will easily breed bacteria and cause vaginitis.

22. Keep the perineum clean. A humid and warm environment is prone to the breeding of bacteria, so to prevent vaginitis, you must always keep the vulva clean and dry. Husbands and wives should pay attention to the cleanliness of both parties and clean before having sex. Especially some husbands have long foreskins, which hide bacteria.

23. Eat less spicy and sweet foods. Women should have a healthy and balanced diet and eat less irritating foods to keep the immune system functioning normally. Drink alcohol in moderation. Avoid eating too many sweets, which can easily lead to candidal vaginitis.

24. Enhance your body's resistance. Strengthening your own resistance can prevent vaginitis. Keep a happy mood, have a normal and regular daily routine, and exercise more.

25. Clearing away the toxins in the vagina. White-collar women use computers a lot and often sit in the office for several hours, which causes a lot of toxins to accumulate in their vagina. Therefore, it is necessary to clear away the toxins in the vagina and improve the vagina's own resistance to vaginitis.

26. Stay up late less. Due to work pressure, white-collar women often become "fighters in the dark". Staying up late will disrupt the body's normal biological clock, lead to endocrine disorders, and reduce the vagina's own defense ability, giving vaginitis an opportunity to take advantage.

27. Drink honey and yogurt. Honey can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and reduce endocrine disorders caused by stool retention. Drinking yogurt can effectively inhibit the growth of vaginal pathogens, thereby effectively preventing vaginitis.

28. Learn to seize opportunities to exercise. White-collar women always have a tight schedule. In fact, you should learn to seize time to exercise. For example, when brushing your teeth in the morning, you can put your feet together and touch the ground with your toes. Although it is only a small movement, it can exercise the vagina and effectively prevent vaginitis.

Taboo foods for patients with vaginitis:

1. Avoid spicy fried and hot foods. Spicy fried foods such as chili, pepper, fennel, prickly ash, star anise, onion, fried dough sticks, roasted lamb, electric roasted chicken, fried quail, fried pork chops, fried chicken wings, etc.; hot foods such as beef, mutton, dog meat, etc. and various fried nuts such as fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, fried Torreya grandis, etc., will cause heat and aggravate vaginal inflammation and congestion after consumption, so avoid eating them.

2. Avoid seafood that can cause irritation. Shrimp, river shrimp, hairtail, crab, swimming crab, eel, razor clams, hairy clams, silver clams, oysters, abalone and other aquatic products are mostly irritants. Eating them will aggravate genital itching and is not conducive to the reduction of inflammation, so they should be avoided.

3. Avoid sweet and greasy foods. Overly sweet and greasy foods such as candy, cream, chocolate, cream cake, glutinous rice cake, eight-treasure rice, lard and fatty pork, mutton fat, egg yolk, duck egg yolk, these foods have the effect of promoting moisture, which will increase the secretion of leucorrhea and reduce the treatment effect.

4. Avoid smoking and drinking. Smoking, drinking and alcoholic foods such as fermented rice balls, ginseng wine, deer antler wine, etc. will aggravate inflammation and congestion after consumption, which is not conducive to the treatment of this disease, so avoid eating them.

Experts remind: Vaginitis may lead to female infertility, so unmarried women should not ignore gynecological diseases. Vaginitis will lead to increased vaginal secretions, which will affect the penetration of sperm and have a certain impact on pregnancy. Mild fungal vaginitis is generally not harmful to pregnancy, but if it is more serious, it should be cured before pregnancy. Female friends must develop good living habits and stay away from vaginitis.
