What are the symptoms of anaerobic vaginitis?

Many women should have some knowledge about anaerobic vaginitis. This is also a type of bacterial vaginitis. The symptoms are excessive vaginal discharge, abnormal color, and odor. In fact, the symptoms are similar to most gynecological inflammations. The specific results need to be confirmed by going to the hospital for relevant diagnosis. Don't take medicine indiscriminately, so as to avoid improper medication affecting its therapeutic effect. Let's take a look at the symptoms of anaerobic vaginitis.

Symptoms of anaerobic vaginitis:

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, sticky, paste-like, uniform, non-purulent, and the amount is variable.

2. The secretion has a high amine content and a fishy smell. During sexual intercourse or after activity, the release of amines is promoted, making the odor worse. Adding 10% potassium hydroxide to the secretion can release the amine smell.

3. The pH value in vaginal secretions increases to 5.0-5.5, while the normal pH value is 3.7-4.5.

4. Clue cells can be detected in smears of vaginal secretions.

This disease can cause infertility, affect fetal development, induce other diseases (genital infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, perinephritis, sexual intercourse pain, etc.), and affect the quality of life of couples.

Since the onset of nonspecific vaginitis is related to personal hygiene and mutual infection, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, eliminate the source of infection, strengthen your physical fitness, and prevent recurrence.

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

This disease can often be combined with other vaginal sexually transmitted diseases, and its clinical manifestations may vary depending on the comorbidities. When combined with gonococcal infection, vaginal discharge will be obviously purulent and urinary tract irritation symptoms such as dysuria and dysuria may occur; when combined with Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may appear, and itching may be aggravated and extremely itchy; when combined with Candida infection, vaginal discharge may appear curd-like or tofu-like.
