What to do if you have vaginitis

Female vaginitis is a common gynecological disease that many women may suffer from. Due to the lack of knowledge about vaginitis and the inability to correctly treat the disease, many female friends often become extremely nervous and depressed after they get vaginitis. Some even start taking medicine on their own without asking a doctor, which is very dangerous. So what should a woman do if she gets vaginitis?

In fact, the so-called vaginitis is just the inflammation of the female vagina, but the severity of each person's illness is different, so the treatment required is also different. In addition to taking medication as instructed by Yisheng, female patients can also treat the disease through the following methods.

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.

Under normal circumstances, our vagina will maintain the balance of acidity and alkalinity by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergents or disinfectants, or even scrub it excessively. This may not only disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment, but may also cause vaginal damage. So usually just rinse it with warm water. In addition, if you think you may have been infected with vaginitis, do not clean your vagina before seeing a doctor, so as to avoid washing away the protozoa or secretions in the vagina. This will prevent the doctor from correctly determining the type of bacteria that has infected you.

Also, if you have vaginitis, try to wear cotton and ventilated underwear to keep dry. If there is not much secretion, try not to use sanitary pads. If you use them, you must change them frequently to avoid bacterial growth.

Under normal circumstances, our natural immune system will automatically deal with these invading bacteria, so we should have a healthy and balanced diet, eat less irritating foods, and allow the immune system to function normally.

In addition, patients with vaginitis must obtain the consent and prescription of a doctor before using antibiotics, because although antibiotics can kill bacteria, they will promote the growth of fungi, so antibiotics must not be abused.

The most important thing for female friends after accidentally getting vaginitis is to have a good attitude. You should know that this is just a common gynecological disease and this disease can be cured, so there is no need to worry or be afraid too much. In addition, what you need to do is to keep your daily diet light, and while taking medication, if conditions permit, you should increase physical exercise appropriately to enhance your own resistance.
