Is acute vaginitis serious?

In today's society, gynecological diseases are undoubtedly the most troublesome diseases for women. Is acute vaginitis serious? This is a question that many female friends are concerned about. Once you suffer from vaginitis, it will not only affect the patient's work, life, and rest, but will even affect the normal life of the couple. So is acute vaginitis serious? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

1. The harm of bacterial vaginosis

Affecting the quality of life Bacterial vaginosis will be accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching, which will cause many inconveniences and impacts on women's life and work, and will also affect the life of the couple.

Induce other diseases Bacterial vaginitis can induce genital infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, perinephritis, sexual intercourse pain and other diseases.

Causes infertility Under normal circumstances, the flora in the vagina is relatively balanced and the acidity and alkalinity are relatively balanced. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur.

2. Acute vaginitis

Acute vaginitis refers to acute inflammation caused by infection with certain pathogens. There are many pathogens that cause infection, such as Candida, Trichomonas, bacteria, viruses, etc., which can lead to candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, senile vaginitis, etc.

3. Treatment methods

Eliminate predisposing factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. It is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods. Change your underwear frequently and wash it with warm water. Do not mix it with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

Change the pH value of the vagina: The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The normal pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, the use of feminine care solution with a weak acid formula of pH 4 is not only suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance, but also has an inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of fungi during treatment. When going to the toilet, wipe the vulva with feminine hygiene wipes and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

4. Drug therapy

Trichomonas vaginitis The Trichomonas of Trichomonas vaginitis exist in the glands of the folds and cervix, and also in the urethra and intestines. Therefore, systemic administration of metronidazole should be emphasized.

To treat candidal vaginitis, you can use 2% to 3% soda solution to rinse the vulva, vagina or take a sitz bath, gently dry it, and then place nystatin, miconazole or clotrimazole suppository. Oral anti-Candida drugs can also be used. Pregnant or lactating women should consider the effects on the fetus or infant before taking medication for candidal vaginitis.

Metronidazole is the drug of choice for bacterial vaginosis. It can also be applied topically and inserted into the vagina.

Treatment of senile vaginitis Senile vaginitis can be treated with local medication in the vagina, such as flushing the vagina with 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution or pH 4 weak acid formula feminine care solution once a day to increase vaginal acidity. For patients with more severe inflammation, external estrogen preparations can be used as an auxiliary treatment.

The above is all the introduction about acute vaginitis. I hope it can help patients and friends. The incidence of gynecological diseases in women is very high, so female friends must pay attention to personal hygiene in life, change clothes frequently, and avoid bacterial infection again. Take medication on time as directed by your doctor. I believe that the disease will recover as soon as possible.
