What are the specific symptoms of vaginitis?

Gynecological diseases in women bring great troubles to life and cause many inconveniences in life, making people often feel embarrassed. Vaginitis is a gynecological disease. The symptoms of vaginitis have many adverse manifestations, which make women miserable and painful, and make their sexual life disharmonious. Vaginitis should be detected and treated early. Let us understand what are the symptoms of vaginitis?

1. Symptoms: Increased leucorrhea, which may be a thin serous fluid, grayish yellow or yellow-green, sometimes mixed with blood, and 20% of leucorrhea contains foam. Itching and burning of the vulva, and pain during sexual intercourse are also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be urinary pain, urgency, and even hematuria.

2. Physical signs Examination of this disease may reveal congestion and edema of the vaginal and cervical mucosa, often with scattered red spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, and a large amount of leucorrhea in the posterior fornix.

3. Common complications: Trichomonas can consume glycogen in the epithelium, change the pH value in the vagina, and hinder the growth of lactobacilli, so it is easy to cause secondary bacterial infection. At this time, the leucorrhea is grass green and has a foul odor. Candidal vaginitis Candidal vaginitis is also known as candidal vaginitis. It is mainly caused by Candida albicans infection. This bacteria normally lives in the vagina, and when the local environmental conditions change, it is easy to get sick and cause inflammation. It is common in pregnant women, young girls, diabetic patients and those receiving large amounts of estrogen therapy.

This disease belongs to the category of "vaginal itch" and "leucorrhea" in traditional Chinese medicine. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is caused by accumulation of dampness and heat in the body, combined with infection by external toxic pathogens. Dampness and heat are internal causes, while toxic evil is an external cause. The interaction between the internal and external causes makes the disease linger. Over time, the damp-heat evil will inevitably damage the Yin, resulting in a mixture of deficiency and excess symptoms of Yin damage, damp-heat obstruction. Traditional Chinese medicine must treat this disease from the root cause and adopt a treatment approach of clearing away heat and dampness, and eliminating evil toxins.

Patients with vaginitis should pay attention to their lifestyle and avoid eating irritating foods, especially while taking medication, as this will have a certain impact on the recovery of the disease. They should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Patients must quit smoking and drinking. Pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, do not use strong alkaline lotions to clean it, and maintain a good attitude.
