Treatment of gynecological inflammation vaginitis

We all know that the female body structure is relatively complex. Every normal woman has a physiological cycle every month. However, this is often particularly prone to some gynecological diseases in women. Among them, vaginitis is a symptom that many women have encountered. The occurrence of such symptoms has a relatively large impact on women’s health, and it will also bring certain pain to women. It will also seriously affect women’s physical and mental health. However, if it can be treated in time, its harm can be avoided. Let’s learn about the treatment methods of gynecological inflammation vaginitis.

Vaginitis is inflammation of the vagina. The vagina of a normal healthy woman has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens due to the characteristics of its anatomical tissue. For example, the closure of the vaginal opening, the close contact of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina, the proliferation of vaginal epithelial cells and the keratinization of surface cells under the influence of estrogen, and the balance of vaginal acidity and alkalinity inhibit the reproduction of alkaline-adapted pathogens. The cervical mucus is alkaline. When the natural defense function of the vagina is destroyed, pathogens can easily invade and cause vaginal inflammation.
