Can baking soda treat gynecological inflammation?

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is an alkaline substance used to treat candidal vaginitis. However, it is edible after all and is not recommended.

Washing the vagina with baking soda

1. Causes of vaginal candidal infection

Due to the particularity of female physiological structure, it is easy to be invaded by external pathogenic bacteria in daily life (sexual intercourse, menstrual blood residue, improper storage of underwear, swimming, etc.). When pathogenic bacteria invade, the human body's immunity is low (high work pressure, colds, depression, imperfect diet structure, etc. may all lead to low immunity). In this way, the number of beneficial bacteria in the secretions of your gynecological environment is gradually decreasing, and the number of pathogenic bacteria is increasing. Once the number of pathogenic bacteria exceeds the number of beneficial bacteria, the microecological flora in the gynecological environment will be unbalanced, resulting in the pathogenic bacteria ascending and destroying the protective barrier of the reproductive system mucosal tissue, inducing various types of vaginitis.

2. Misunderstandings of Traditional Treatment Methods for Vaginitis

Nowadays, when women suffer from vaginitis, the traditional treatment is to go to the hospital or pharmacy to buy some washes containing antibiotic ingredients, or use external and internal medicines. This traditional treatment method can produce results in a short period of time. The reason is that the antibiotic components do kill pathogenic bacteria in the gynecological environment, but at the same time they also kill the beneficial bacteria in the gynecological environment that are used to resist pathogenic bacteria. The existing microecological environment has been turned into an "empty city". When pathogenic bacteria invade again, this "empty city" has lost its defense system. When pathogenic bacteria invade again, gynecological diseases will "come back". However, traditional treatments do not adjust the bacterial balance of the gynecological microecological environment, which is why once women suffer from gynecological diseases, they will fall into a vicious circle of recurring diseases.

3. What should I do if I get vaginitis? Three parts treatment and seven parts care.

If the problem is serious, you can first use the wash or topical medication prescribed by the hospital for routine treatment. However, if you want to prevent the pathogenic bacteria from invading again, you need to use some probiotic biological products to adjust the gynecological microecological environment. The purpose of forming a defensive barrier is to prevent external pathogens from invading and internal pathogens from surviving. In this way, the vaginal cleanliness can be achieved to a degree (the gold standard for hospitals to measure the health of women's gynecological environment is that the number of beneficial bacteria in the vagina accounts for more than 90%). Based on the above principles, female friends are advised to pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life and maintain the gynecological environment (long-term supplementation of probiotics in the female vagina to maintain the balance of bacteria in the gynecological microecological environment) to get out of the vicious circle of gynecological diseases that "it's fine when taking the medicine, but it will get worse when stopping the medicine."
