Premenstrual recurrence of candidal vaginitis

Gynecological diseases are a concern for most female friends. Treatment is definitely necessary, but even if cured, gynecological inflammation will easily recur, and the treatment after recurrence will be more troublesome. Fungal vaginitis is one of them. What's more peculiar is that during our menstrual period every month, fungal vaginitis usually joins in the fun and recurs at this time. Let's talk about why fungal vaginitis recurs before menstruation.

The temperature of the female vagina is around 40 degrees Celsius. The red blood cells and secretions left over from menstrual blood during menstruation undergo qualitative changes at such a temperature, causing the acid-base balance in the vagina to be destroyed, making it a breeding ground for various bacteria. Therefore, health care within 3 days after menstruation is very important.

At the same time, from the perspective of preventive health care, if you do not pay attention to hygiene 3 days after menstruation, it is easy for bacteria that do not cause disease on weekdays to take advantage of the opportunity and cause vaginal infectious diseases, such as bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc. If these infectious diseases are not treated promptly, they may spread and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

When adolescent girls have their first menstruation, due to their shyness and vague understanding of menstruation, they often do not understand or pay attention to menstrual hygiene. In a panic, they abuse unclean sanitary paper, causing the perineum to be contaminated by unclean toilet paper, menstrual belts, and tampons, giving bacteria the opportunity to breed and invade, causing vaginitis. The main symptoms of this "menarche" vaginitis are a feeling of heaviness and burning in the perineum, increased vaginal discharge, and even a thin, purulent discharge. Due to the overflow of vaginal secretions, the urethra opening is stimulated, and symptoms such as urinary urgency and pain when urinating may occur. Before going to bed, the patient can wash the perineum and vaginal opening, wipe them dry, and use clean fingers to gently push the sulfa suppository into the vagina. It has a good anti-inflammatory effect and will not damage the hymen.

Why are women more susceptible to candidal vaginitis and why does it often recur? This is mainly because the cause of the disease has not been eliminated and the patient is often in an environment susceptible to infection.

1. Long-term use of antibiotics inhibits the growth of lactobacillus, destroys the vaginal ecological environment, and facilitates the reproduction of Candida.

2. People who often wear tight synthetic underwear can easily increase the local temperature and humidity of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth of Candida.

3. Direct contact with toilets, bathtubs, etc. in public places can easily cause fungal infection, leading to the occurrence of candidal vaginitis.

4. For pregnant women and diabetic patients, the glycogen in the vaginal tissue will increase relatively, the acidity will increase, and it is also conducive to the growth of Candida.

5. People who need to take immunosuppressants and hormone drugs for a long time due to certain diseases are also prone to relapse.

6. Improper and long-term use of various vaginal washes or suppositories.
