A little stinging down there

If a woman experiences pain in her lower body, she must take it seriously in time, because this may mean that she has a health problem called vaginitis. Vaginitis is also a very common inflammatory disease among women. If not treated in time, its impact and harm will extend to the entire reproductive system. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about vaginitis!

1. Causes

If the ecological balance between the original flora in the vagina is disrupted for any reason, conditional pathogens can cause vaginitis. The vulva and vagina are adjacent to the urethra and anus, and are locally moist and easily contaminated by urine and feces. Women of childbearing age have more frequent sexual intercourse, and the vulva and vagina are the necessary passages for delivery, cervical and uterine cavity operations, making them easily damaged and infected by external pathogens. Young girls and postmenopausal women have low estrogen levels, thin vaginal epithelium, low local resistance, and are easily infected. Common pathogens include Candida, Trichomonas vaginalis, Amoeba, Gardnerella vaginalis, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and Ciliate Fungi.
