Symptoms of bacterial vaginitis

The occurrence of vaginitis has a great impact on women's daily life. Especially at the physical level, with the improvement of people's living standards, many women will be troubled by vaginitis. In addition, among many gynecological diseases, bacterial vaginitis is very common. We also need to understand some common symptoms and don't have to wait until the symptoms appear before thinking about what problems there are. Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginitis

1. Symptoms of excessive leucorrhea.

The discharge is white, yellow watery or thick, with white fine watery or tofu-like residue, a slight odor, or clear and thin with blood.

2. Symptoms of itching in private parts and vulva.

The main manifestation is severe itching, which affects sleep and work. The symptoms generally range from mild to unbearable. Patients often scratch unconsciously, resulting in swelling, redness, and even swelling, ulceration, and burning sensation of the vulva.

Common problems in daily life for patients with mild vaginitis

Patients with mild cervical erosion should develop good living habits. You should also wash and disinfect your hands before urinating, and avoid using unclean handkerchiefs. When wiping your private parts after defecation, you should wipe from front to back, wash your vulva every day, change your underwear and put it in a cool place to dry. Your own basin and towel are for your own use. Underwear and cotton socks should be cleaned in different basins. When using public toilets, try to minimize the use of sit-down toilets. It is recommended to take a shower instead of washing in the basin. Do not sit on the shower seat immediately after bathing. Swimming in a pool that is not disinfected and is not tightly closed.

How to eradicate bacterial vaginitis

1. Be sure to carry out the medical treatment required by the doctor. For most patients, as long as they take the medicine properly, the test results will be negative after a few days, but this does not mean that they are completely cured. In fact, some pathogens that have not been completely killed are hiding under the mucosa at this time. They will not run out again until the next menstruation when the resistance is weak. Therefore, experts remind that the real standard for recovery from bacterial vaginitis is that the test results are negative for 3 consecutive months.

2. The husband or sexual partner should receive treatment at the same time. Bacterial vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, so a husband or sexual partner may also be infected with the disease. If left untreated, it can lead to repeated cross-infection.

3. During the treatment of bacterial vaginitis, the vulva should be kept clean and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. During the treatment of bacterial vaginitis, sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited to prevent the friction of sexual intercourse from causing vaginal congestion and aggravating inflammation. After the treatment is completed, the secretion should be rechecked after the next menstrual period is over, and sexual life can be resumed only after the test result is negative.

4. Daily necessities must be “treated” synchronously. Cotton towels and underwear can also be contaminated with pathogens. If they are not treated simultaneously, the effect of treating bacterial vaginitis will be ineffective. Therefore, towels and underwear must be thoroughly disinfected: boil for 15 minutes, and dry in the sun, and usually should be placed in a ventilated and dry place.
