What does it mean if there are few or no lactobacilli?

Lactobacillus is a healthy microorganism. The reduction or absence of Lactobacillus may increase the chance of infection with gynecological diseases. Female friends need to pay attention to this. The reduction of lactobacilli may cause many diseases, such as vaginitis, because lactobacilli are the main flora in the vagina and they can maintain the health and balance of the vagina.

A decrease or disappearance of Lactobacillus increases the risk of gynecological infections. It is best for women not to frequently use detergents to wash their genitals. Cleaning too frequently can lead to bacterial imbalance. As long as you develop good living habits, eat a reasonable and scientific diet, do not wear tight synthetic fiber underwear, and strengthen nutrition, you can reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases. So, how to treat the condition of having few or no lactobacilli? This issue will be explained in detail below.

First of all, although vaginal inflammation is not a stubborn disease, it is a disease that can be infected repeatedly. Only when the cause of the disease is discovered and completely eliminated can the treatment goal be achieved. Although most gynecological inflammations are caused by dysbiosis, lactobacillus drugs should not be used casually. It is best to go to the hospital for examination, and then use lactobacillus drugs under the guidance of a doctor after diagnosis. If you are a couple, some inflammations require both husband and wife to treat together.

Secondly, lactobacillus is the main flora in the normal vagina, and it plays an important role in maintaining vaginal health. It can prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria and is a barrier for vaginal self-defense. If lactobacillus is destroyed or disappears in large numbers, this may lead to the reproduction of pathogens and vaginitis. In addition, lactobacilli are not usually used for acute inflammatory attacks. For most vaginitis, lactobacilli can quickly restore balance after the acute phase and no additional supplementation is needed. However, for patients with recurrent chronic vaginitis, especially those who have used antibiotics for a long time, have recurrent vaginitis, and whose symptoms continue to recur after antibacterial treatment, the addition of Lactobacillus preparations can be considered. Supplementation of Lactobacillus can promote the recovery of normal vaginal flora.

To sum up, we understand how to treat the problem of low or no lactobacilli. Lactobacillus is the guardian that prevents the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the female vagina. The balance of Lactobacillus can prevent the occurrence of gynecological diseases. If the main flora of Lactobacillus is lacking or disappears, gynecological diseases will occur. Therefore, only by maintaining the number of lactobacilli can they play an important role in maintaining vaginal health.
