Causes of bacterial vaginosis

Under the action of endocrine, women's vagina can maintain the growth of facultative anaerobic lactobacillus, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria and help prevent gynecological diseases. Under normal circumstances, it occupies more than 90% of the vagina. It can keep our women's vagina healthy and not be troubled by vaginitis. However, when the body's endocrine system is out of balance, it is easy to lead to a decrease in facultative anaerobic lactobacillus, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow and damage the vagina.

When the body's estrogen level drops, the vaginal epithelium atrophies and cell glycogen decreases, which is not conducive to the growth of lactobacilli. Excessive use of antibiotics or excessive vaginal flushing with alkaline fluids inhibits the growth of lactobacilli. Sexual promiscuity and frequent sexual intercourse (because the pH of semen is 7.2-7.8) lead to the massive reproduction of pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and Gardnerella, causing an imbalance in the ecological balance of vaginal microorganisms. The number of facultative aerobic lactobacilli decreased. This eventually leads to bacterial vaginosis.

Bacterial vaginosis prevention

1. Stop abusing antibiotics

If you have a cough, fever, or headache, take antibiotics. Little do people know that antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, giving harmful bacteria the opportunity to multiply. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with caution.

2. Wash your underwear separately

Harmful bacteria can multiply in large numbers on the surface of the skin, in the gastrointestinal tract, inside the nails, and other places. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately, and it is best to soak it in ECU-specific underwear disinfectant for a few minutes.

3. Avoid excessive cleaning

Frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade cleansing liquids, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The female care liquid with a pH 4 weak acid formula is more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.

The above is an introduction about why women get bacterial vaginosis and what you should pay attention to in order to prevent bacterial vaginosis. People with bacterial vaginitis must pay attention to hygiene, avoid eating spicy or irritating foods, avoid eating irritating or hot foods, and eat more fruits, vegetables, and foods high in vitamins.
