How should women deal with nine types of vaginitis

The vagina is an important part of women. For the sake of their own health, women must prevent vaginitis, a common gynecological inflammation. There are many types of vaginitis. So, how should female friends prevent various vaginitis?

1. Trichomonas vaginitis

This type of vaginitis is caused by the pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted through sexual intercourse or indirectly (bathing, swimming, or contact with contaminated clothing, dressings and instruments, etc.). The main symptoms are vulvar itching, increased vaginal discharge, and vaginal discharge that becomes light yellow and foamy. In severe cases, the vaginal discharge may be mixed with blood or accompanied by a burning sensation and pain during sexual intercourse. When accompanied by a urinary tract infection, there may be frequent urination, painful urination, or hematuria.

This type of vaginitis is usually treated with oral sensitive antibiotics and placement of metronidazole suppositories in the vagina for 7 to 10 days. One course of treatment. At the same time, you can use 1% lactic acid solution to flush the vulva for 3 consecutive months. The patient's husband should also receive treatment at the same time and should abstain from sexual intercourse during treatment. In addition, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual intercourse and cross infection.

2. Fungal vaginitis

This type of vaginitis is caused by the pathogen Candida albicans infection, and often occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of transmission are sexual intercourse, bathing or contact with contaminated clothing. The main symptoms are tofu-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

This type of vaginitis can be treated with oral antifungal drugs or by inserting nystatin suppositories into the vagina. During the treatment, you should avoid sexual intercourse, change underwear frequently, and wash utensils with boiling water.

3. Gardnerella vaginitis

This type of vaginitis is caused by the pathogen, Gardnerella, and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. The prevalence of Gardnerella vaginitis is higher among people with promiscuous sexual relations. Infections caused by Gardnerella are more common in women who are sexually promiscuous. In the acute phase, patients may experience increased vaginal discharge with a fishy or ammonia odor, damp and uncomfortable vulva, often accompanied by vaginal burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and vulvar itching.

To treat this type of vaginitis, tetracycline and sulfathiazole can be made into suppositories and inserted deep into the vagina once a night for 10 consecutive days, while sensitive antibiotics can be taken orally at the same time. Patients with systemic infection can receive the medication intravenously.

4. Gonorrheal vaginitis

This type of vaginitis is caused by the pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and can be transmitted through unclean or promiscuous sexual intercourse. A small number of people are also indirectly infected by wearing swimsuits infected with gonococci or through bathtubs or toilets contaminated with gonococci. The symptoms include lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, purulent leucorrhea, redness, swelling and pain at the vaginal opening, etc. If not treated in time, it may turn into chronic gynecological inflammation. 10% to 20% of such patients may experience infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

This type of vaginitis can be treated with intramuscular injection of sensitive antibiotics. At the same time, Chinese medicines such as willow leaves, atractylodes, coptis, phellodendron, patrinia, cnidium monnieri, and pleurotus eryngii can be used. After decocting in water, the vulva can be washed with warm water 1 to 2 times a day. One course of treatment is 7 days. Generally, 1 to 2 courses of treatment can cure the disease.

5. Vaginitis in young girls

This disease is more common in little girls who wear open-crotch pants. The cause of the disease is that girls sit on the ground while playing, or stick their fingers directly into the vagina, or place foreign objects into the vagina, causing contamination of the vulva and vagina and inducing vaginitis. The main symptoms are redness and swelling of the vulva, watery discharge from the vagina, and vaginal burning or severe pain.

To treat vaginitis in young girls, you only need to use pepper water or Liuyi powder (containing talc and licorice) to clean the vagina and vulva, and you can get satisfactory results. To prevent problems before they happen, girls should not be allowed to wear open-crotch pants. Instead, they can wear loose, easy-to-take-off closed-crotch pants. At the same time, girls should be educated to pay attention to hygiene, not to touch the vagina with hands or foreign objects, and the vulva should be cleaned every night.

6. Vaginitis during menarche in girls

When girls have their first menstruation, due to shyness and vague understanding of menstruation, they often do not understand or pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and abuse unclean toilet paper, which gives bacteria the opportunity to grow and invade the vulva, causing menarche vaginitis. Its characteristics are: a feeling of falling and burning in the perineum, increased vaginal secretions, and even purulent secretions. Due to the increase in vaginal secretions, the urethra opening is stimulated and the patient will experience symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination.

To treat this type of vaginitis, patients can clean the vaginal opening and vulva before going to bed, wipe them dry, and then use clean fingers to gently push the Sanovo vaginal suppository into the vagina. This method has a good anti-inflammatory effect and will not damage the hymen.

7. Vaginitis caused by tight crotch pants

As the name suggests, this type of vaginitis is caused by women frequently wearing tight-crotch and hip-wrapped triangle underwear and high-elastic tight leggings. Some girls who love beauty often like to wear tight pants that show off their body curves. This type of pants has a tight crotch and covers the hips. The fabric is airtight and not breathable, which makes it difficult for vaginal secretions and sweat to dissipate, making it suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, which can easily cause vaginitis. The main symptoms of this type of vaginitis are: excessive vaginal discharge, itching of the vagina and labia majora and minora, accompanied by urethral irritation symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

To treat this type of vaginitis, first of all, do not wear tight-crotch pants made of chemical fiber fabrics. Instead, wear cotton underwear and loose-crotch pants, and use appropriate medications under the guidance of a doctor.

8. Senile vaginitis

This type of vaginitis is a common disease in postmenopausal women. Due to the lack of estrogen, the local resistance of postmenopausal women is reduced, which allows pathogens to invade and multiply, causing vaginitis. The symptoms include itching or burning sensation of the vulva. In severe cases, there may be frequent urination, painful urination, increased vaginal discharge in a light yellow color, or bloody and purulent leucorrhea with a foul odor. At this time, the patient should undergo further examination to rule out the possibility of a tumor.

Once patients are diagnosed with senile vaginitis, they must receive early treatment. Delaying treatment may lead to vaginal adhesions. During treatment, 1:5000 potassium permanganate can usually be used topically for external washing, ethinyl stilbestrol tablets or suppositories can be inserted into the vagina, and estrogen treatment can also be used. However, the use of estrogen therapy must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

9. Vaginitis during pregnancy

It is best for women to check whether they have vaginitis before getting pregnant. If so, they should be thoroughly treated before getting pregnant. Because before pregnancy, doctors can use medications boldly without worrying about the effects of the drugs on the fetus. Besides, the effect of treatment during the non-pregnancy period is much better than that during pregnancy. During pregnancy, women's hormone levels rise, secretions increase, the acidity and alkalinity in the vagina change, and the bacteria living in the vagina become active, leading to vaginitis.

The treatment of vaginitis during pregnancy should be particularly cautious, and medication should be used under the guidance of a gynecologist. External medications can be used for local treatment according to the different types of vaginitis to prevent fetal malformations caused by medication. In addition, mold can infect the fetus in the birth canal, causing the newborn to suffer from a disease called "thrush". Therefore, pregnant women should treat vaginitis thoroughly to prevent fungi in the birth canal from invading the fetus during delivery.

I believe that after reading this article, many female friends will have a certain understanding of how to prevent various types of vaginitis. For the sake of their own health, female friends must pay attention to the prevention and treatment of vaginitis.
