Bacterial vaginosis symptoms

The symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are obvious, especially the growth of bacteria in one's own vagina. Since one half is infected, the other sexual partner will also be invaded by the bacteria. Once entering the body, it may cause urethritis, metritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and the complications are countless. Therefore, some precautions in daily life are naturally necessary to prevent. In the following article, we will learn about the symptoms and precautions of bacterial vaginitis.

10% to 50% of patients are asymptomatic, while those with symptoms complain of grayish-white leucorrhea with a fishy odor, vaginal burning and itching. Increased leucorrhea is not a unique symptom of this disease. Gonorrhea, candidal vaginitis, and Trichomonas vaginitis can all present with clinical symptoms of increased leucorrhea.

①The pH value reaches 5.0-5.5, which is higher than normal.

② The leucorrhea is gray or gray-green, homogeneous, with a paste-like consistency, and may contain bubbles.

③There is a foul smell like rotten fish. The odor of women becomes worse after menstruation or sexual intercourse, and their sexual partners' genitals may also emit the same odor.

④ Patients with combined Trichomonas or Candida infection may experience vulvar itching, vaginal burning sensation, or pain during sexual intercourse.

This disease can often be combined with other vaginal sexually transmitted diseases, and its clinical manifestations may vary depending on the comorbidities.

3. Give up the abuse of antibiotics

Do you take antibiotics when you have a cough, fever, or headache? Little do you know that antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, giving fungi the opportunity to multiply in large numbers. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with caution.

4. Control blood sugar and use alkaline products to clean the vulva

The vaginal glycogen content and acidity of female diabetics are relatively high, making them more susceptible to fungal invasion. Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, you should also pay attention to cleaning the vulva and choose products with a weak alkaline pH value.

5. Avoid Over-cleaning

Frequent use of acidic gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily create a moist and acidic environment that breeds mold. Gynecological cleaning products with weak alkaline formula are more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.

To cure bacterial vaginitis, you must start with yourself and maintain a good environment. If there is too much dust or unsanitary conditions, it may cause bacterial vaginitis, and this disease can last for as long as a year, so everyone should actively seek treatment.
