There are granules at the vaginal opening

If there are granular substances at the vaginal opening of a woman, she should be alert to whether she has vaginitis. Because repeated inflammation stimulates the mucosa, it often leads to abnormalities caused by itching. Sometimes there will be symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. She should go to the hospital for routine leucorrhea examination in time. Even if she uses some anti-inflammatory drugs, she should pay attention to the care of her private parts.

The main consideration is that it is caused by vaginitis. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to use red core wash solution for cleaning, and conduct tests when necessary, and check the routine leucorrhea.

What to do with vaginitis

1. Keep the vulva clean during treatment and refrain from sexual intercourse. Shower regularly, change underwear daily, and use a squat toilet.

2. The husband can receive targeted treatment at the same time.

3. When the vagina is itchy, do not scratch it hard and do not wash it with hot water to avoid burns. You can use Cleanser to clean your genitals every night and avoid spicy and greasy foods to prevent dampness and heat. Avoid smoking and drinking.

4. It is advisable to eat light food, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. Eat millet porridge, buckwheat porridge, mung bean soup and barley porridge regularly.

5. Young girls may also be affected due to poor hygiene, unclean vulva, frequent contamination by feces or direct contact with dirt. In addition, if the vulva is injured or scratched, especially if it causes inflammation due to pinworm infection, or if it is transmitted from the mother, attention should be paid to daily hygiene and the mother should cooperate with treatment.

Under normal circumstances, our vagina will maintain the balance of acidity and alkalinity by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergents or disinfectants, or even scrub it excessively. This may not only disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment, but may also cause vaginal damage. So usually just rinse it with warm water.

In addition, if you think you may have been infected with vaginitis, do not clean your vagina before seeing a doctor, so as to avoid washing away the protozoa or secretions in the vagina. This will prevent the doctor from correctly determining the type of bacteria that has infected you.

Causes of vaginitis

1. Bacterial vaginosis: In a normal vagina, lactobacilli that produce hydrogen peroxide are dominant. Bacterial vaginosis is an endogenous mixed infection caused by a decrease in Lactobacillus and an increase in Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria in the vagina.

2. Eighty to ninety percent of the pathogens of candidal vaginitis are Candida albicans, which grows more easily in an acidic environment and is a dimorphic bacterium.

Conditionally pathogenic bacteria. Common causes: pregnancy, diabetes, and extensive use of immunosuppressants and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Other causes: gastrointestinal Candida, wearing tight synthetic underwear, and obesity.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis. Trichomonas vaginalis grows best in a humid environment with a temperature of 25℃~40℃ and a pH of 5.2~6.6. The vaginal pH changes before and after menstruation, becoming close to neutral after menstruation, making it easy for Trichomonas to reproduce. The patient's vaginal pH is generally between 5.0 and 6.5, with most being >6.0. It parasitizes in the vagina, urethra or paraurethral glands, bladder, renal pelvis, male foreskin folds, urethra, and prostate. It often coexists with other vaginitis.

4. Senile vaginitis occurs in postmenopausal women due to ovarian dysfunction, decreased estrogen levels, vaginal wall atrophy, thinning of the mucosa, increased vaginal pH, decreased local resistance, and excessive reproduction or easy invasion of other pathogenic bacteria, mainly aerobic bacteria, causing inflammation.

5. Vaginitis in young girls is caused by poor development of the vulva, low estrogen levels, and foreign bodies in the vagina, which trigger infection. Common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, etc.
