What are the causes of bacterial vaginosis?

In daily life, many women gradually suffer from gynecological diseases after middle age. The most common gynecological disease is called vaginitis. There is also a type of vaginitis called candidal vaginitis. Both types of vaginitis are bacterial and easily contagious. The general symptoms are dreg-like leucorrhea. So what are the causes of bacterial vaginitis, what are the symptoms and how to diagnose it? Let's learn about it together.

This disease can often be combined with other vaginal sexually transmitted diseases, so its clinical manifestations may vary due to the influence of complications. For example, when combined with gonococcal infection, vaginal discharge may show obvious purulent properties, and urinary tract irritation symptoms such as dysuria and dysuria may occur; when combined with Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may appear, and the itching may be aggravated and extremely itchy; when combined with Candida infection, vaginal discharge may appear curd-like or tofu-like.

diagnosis

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, very sticky, even like paste, and uniform, but it is not purulent discharge, and the amount is uncertain.

Second, the secretion has a particularly high amine content, so it has a fishy smell. During sexual intercourse or after activity, the smell is often aggravated due to the release of amines. Adding 10% potassium hydroxide to the secretion can also release the amine smell.

Third, the pH value in vaginal secretions increases, with a pH range of 5.0-5.5, while the normal pH is 4.5-4.7.

Fourth, clue cells can be detected in the wet smear of vaginal secretions.

Among the above four criteria, the diagnosis can be confirmed if three or more are met, and the fourth is emphasized as a necessary diagnostic criterion.

Bacterial vaginosis is very harmful, and generally it will affect abnormal leucorrhea, frequent urination, and even urinary tract infection. So as long as we pay more attention and try not to let the bacteria spread to other objects, and do not have sexual intercourse during vaginitis, we have learned the causes of bacterial vaginitis above.
