What causes labia erosion?

Labia erosion is generally caused by vulvitis. Some people do not pay attention to personal hygiene, and adverse stimulation can easily cause vulvitis. If this symptom appears in the body, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time. While actively treating it, you also need to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the vulva frequently with warm water, keep the vulva dry, avoid adverse stimulation, and it is best not to have sex. Try to wear cotton underwear.

Dangers of vulvitis

1. Impact on pregnancy: In patients with severe vulvitis, a large number of white blood cells in the sexual secretions can phagocytize sperm, consume the energy substances stored in semen, reduce sperm motility, shorten sperm survival time, and lead to a lower pregnancy rate. It is recommended to get pregnant after the inflammation is cured.

2. Affecting normal sexual life: When suffering from acute vulvitis, sexual life not only aggravates the patient's pain, but also promotes the spread of inflammation and causes secondary infection.

3. Causes infertility: Under normal circumstances, the vagina has a relatively safe environment with relatively balanced flora and relatively balanced acidity and alkalinity. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur.

4. It is contagious: Fungal vulvitis and Trichomonas vulvitis are both highly contagious. If patients have sexual intercourse, they will transmit the pathogenic bacteria to their partners. Therefore, when patients with vulvitis are receiving treatment, their partners also need to receive treatment together, so as to improve the cure rate of vulvitis.

5. Cancer may occur: Vulvitis seems to be a relatively common disease, but if the patient does not actively seek treatment, the inflammation is likely to remain uncured for a long time, which may cause other complications over time. There may also be the possibility of cancer. Vulvar cancer will pose a great threat to women's health and even their lives.

Vulvitis treatment

1. Topical medication: If it is an acute inflammation, you can use 1% levofloxacin plus 1% rivanol solution, or use Chlorhexidine or complex iodine to wash the vulva, and then apply 40% zinc oxide ointment. Chronic itching can be treated with dexamethasone emulsion.

2. Oral medication: Vitamins B, C, A, and E can be supplemented appropriately. Chlorpheniramine 4 mg, 3 times a day.

3. Chinese medicine for external washing: Take 15g of Cnidium monnieri, 15g of Stemona bulbus, 15g of White Thin Cortex, 15g of Hibiscus mume, and 15g of Sophora flavescens, and decoct them in water for external washing or sitz bath, 1-2 times a day.

Vulvitis precautions

1. The husband or sexual partner should also receive targeted treatment. In fact, in addition to gonococcal vaginitis and viral vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis and Candida vaginitis can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Therefore, the husband or sexual partner is also likely to be infected with the disease. If not treated, the patient will be repeatedly infected.

2. Be sure to complete the course of treatment prescribed by your doctor. For most patients, as long as the medication is used properly, the test results will be negative after a few days, but this does not mean that they are completely cured. In fact, some germs that have not been completely eliminated are hiding under the mucous membrane at this time. When the patient's resistance is weak around the next menstrual period, they will come out again. Therefore, to truly cure vaginitis, the test results must be negative after taking the medicine for 7 days after each menstrual period for 3 consecutive months.

3. Keep the vulva clean during treatment and refrain from sexual intercourse.

4. Be sure to "treat" daily necessities simultaneously. The patient's towels and underwear may also be contaminated with pathogens, and if they are not treated simultaneously, the treatment results will be wasted. Therefore, towels and underwear should be thoroughly disinfected: boil them for 15 minutes and dry them in the sun. They should also be kept in a ventilated and dry place at other times.

5. Change your underwear every day, and it is best to wear loose cotton underwear to keep the vagina breathable and dry.
