Detailed explanation of the symptoms and prevention methods of mixed vaginitis!

Mixed vaginitis is an inflammatory disease caused by infection with multiple pathogens. This disease is not only extremely harmful, but also more difficult to treat. So what are the specific symptoms of mixed vaginitis?

Symptoms of mixed vaginitis

Symptom 1: Mixed vaginitis is an infection caused by multiple bacteria, such as fungi, bacteria, Trichomonas, etc. Due to the different pathogens of infection, the manifestations are also different, but all types of vaginitis are accompanied by symptoms of increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. The vulva has varying degrees of itching, burning or pain, and the acute phase is accompanied by fever.

Symptom 2: When mixed vaginitis is accompanied by Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may appear, and the itching may intensify and become extremely itchy; when combined with Candida infection, the vaginal discharge may appear curd-like or tofu-like. The leucorrhea increases and may be a thin serous fluid, gray-yellow or yellow-green, sometimes mixed with blood. Some patients have foam in their leucorrhea. Itching and burning of the vulva, and pain during sexual intercourse are also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be urinary pain, urgency, and even hematuria.

How to prevent mixed vaginitis

1. Don’t over-clean

Frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade cleansing liquids, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina (the weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina). Ph4 weakly acidic feminine care liquid is more suitable for cleaning and maintenance.

2. Wash your underwear separately

Mold can multiply in large numbers on the skin surface, in the gastrointestinal tract, inside the nails, and other places. If your family members or you suffer from tinea pedis, onychomycosis, etc., it is easy to cause cross-infection of fungi. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately, and it is best to soak it in a special underwear disinfectant for a few minutes.

3. Wear cotton underwear

Tight synthetic underwear will increase the local temperature and humidity of the vagina, which can easily lead to the growth of mold. Therefore, you should choose comprehensive underwear.

4. Pay attention to nursing care during pregnancy

During pregnancy, sex hormone levels, glycogen and acidity in the vagina increase, making the vagina very susceptible to fungal invasion. Pregnant women should not take oral medications, but should choose local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans.

5. Stop abusing antibiotics

Antibiotics may suppress some of the beneficial bacteria, leading to the proliferation of mold. Therefore, do not abuse antibiotics.

6. Proper contraception

The estrogen in birth control pills promotes fungal invasion. If you have recurring candidal vaginitis, try not to use contraceptive medication.
