Symptoms of vaginitis in women

The vagina is a unique female reproductive organ. Vaginal health directly affects whether the reproductive system can function properly. However, due to some objective reasons, many female friends and even some adolescent girls now suffer from vaginitis. Why is vaginal inflammation so common and what causes it? How should we women avoid and treat it? Now, please listen to the experts' advice.

Four types of vaginitis

1. Trichomonas vaginitis

The most common disease is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted directly through sexual intercourse, drugs, or indirectly through public baths, bath towels, etc. It manifests as increased vaginal discharge, foamy, foul odor, and accompanied by vulvar itching.

2. Fungal vaginitis

It is caused by Candida albicans infection and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. The patient has severe itching and burning pain in the vulva, excessive leucorrhea in the form of bean curd residue, and Candida can be found in the leucorrhea smear.

3. Senile vaginitis

After menopause, women's estrogen levels drop, the resistance of the vagina weakens, and pathogens can easily invade, which manifests as increased leucorrhea, sometimes bloody, accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain, and small bleeding spots in the vaginal mucosa.

4. Vaginitis in young girls

It often coexists with vulvitis. Young girls have low estrogen levels and weak vaginal resistance, making it easy for pathogens to invade. Bacteria can be transmitted through their mothers, caregivers, and contaminated clothing. It can also be caused by pinworm infection or foreign objects in the vagina.

Vaginitis common in adolescent girls

1. Vaginitis during menarche in girls

The first menstruation of an adolescent girl is called "menarche". Some girls are shy about this and know little about menstruation, so they don't know how to take care of themselves during menstruation and don't pay attention to private hygiene during menstruation. They use unqualified and unclean toilet paper, which causes the vulva to be contaminated by unclean toilet paper, menstrual belts, and tampons. Bacteria take the opportunity to breed and invade, causing menarche vaginitis.

The characteristic symptoms of this type of vaginitis are: a feeling of heaviness and burning in the perineum, increased vaginal discharge, and even purulent discharge. Due to the overflow of vaginal secretions, the urethra opening is stimulated, causing symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination. Patients need to go to the hospital in time and explain their symptoms to the doctor in order to obtain personalized treatment methods suitable for girls.

2. Vaginitis caused by tight crotch pants

This type of vaginitis is caused by women frequently wearing tight-crotch, buttocks-wrapped triangle underwear and high-elastic tight leggings. In recent years, some girls who love beauty often like to wear tight pants that show their body curves. This type of pants has a tight crotch, covers the hips, and is made of chemical fiber fabric that is not breathable. Vaginal secretions and sweat are not easily dissipated, making it suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing vaginitis.

From the above content, it is not difficult to find that vaginitis has nothing to do with age. If you take good care of yourself, even the elderly will not get this disease. Therefore, female friends, please refer to the above reasons and disease characteristics and try not to wear tight clothes. It is best to wear looser clothes. Moreover, once you find yourself having the above-mentioned symptoms, do not be afraid to seek medical treatment. You must go to the hospital for timely treatment and strive for a speedy recovery.
