What are gynecological bacteria?

Gynecological bacteria refer to the bacteria present in the vagina. There are many types of these bacteria, which can cause bacterial infection in the vagina, especially anaerobic bacteria and Candida, which are the main factors causing gynecological diseases. Therefore, when the human body's immunity decreases, the number of gynecological bacteria will continue to increase, causing symptoms of vaginitis. Women should pay attention to vaginal hygiene and not take medications at will.

Bacterial vaginitis is a type of female vaginitis. Under normal circumstances, vaginal lactobacilli are dominant in the vagina, with a small amount of anaerobic bacteria, mycoplasma and Candida albicans. These bacteria form a normal ecological balance. However, when the human body's immunity is low, endocrine hormones change, or external factors such as tissue damage and sexual intercourse disrupt the ecological balance of the vagina, these resident bacteria will become pathogenic bacteria, break through the vaginal barrier and cause infection. It causes vaginal inflammation, which is the main cause of vaginitis in women. Due to estrogen deficiency, young girls and postmenopausal women have thin vaginal epithelium, reduced intracellular glycogen content, and vaginal pH as high as around 7. Therefore, the vaginal resistance is low. If bacteria invade at this time, it will cause bacterial vaginitis.

Treatment and prevention

Stop abusing 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.

Wash underwear separately

Mold can multiply in large numbers on the skin surface, in the gastrointestinal tract, inside the nails, and other places. If your family members or yourself suffer from tinea pedis, onychomycosis, etc., it is easy to cause cross-infection of fungi. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately, and it is best to soak it in a special underwear disinfectant for a few minutes.

Avoid Over-cleaning

Frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade cleansing liquids, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The Ph4 weak acid formula of female care liquid is more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.

Pay attention to nursing care during pregnancy

During pregnancy, sex hormone levels, glycogen and acidity in the vagina increase, making the vagina more susceptible to fungal invasion. For pregnant women, oral medications should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.

Beware of washing machines

There is mold hidden in almost every washing machine tub! And the more you use the washing machine, the more mold there is! But don't worry, there is a killer way to deal with mold in the washing machine: use hot water at about 60℃ to clean the washing machine tub! Clean it regularly with clothing disinfectant!

Pay attention to hygiene in public places

Public places can harbor large amounts of mold. When you are out, do not use the hotel's bathtub, wear long pajamas, put toilet paper on the toilet before using it, etc.

Proper contraception

The estrogen in birth control pills promotes fungal invasion. If you have recurring candidal vaginitis, try not to use contraceptive medication.

Partner Tongzhi

If you are infected with candidal vaginitis, not only you but also your partner needs treatment, so that the expected therapeutic effect can be achieved. While you usually use the female care lotion, don't forget to prepare a male care lotion for him.

Wearing cotton underwear

Tight synthetic underwear will increase the temperature and humidity of the vagina, which is a "living" environment that mold applauds! It is better to choose cotton underwear!

Control blood sugar and clean the vulva properly

Female diabetics have high vaginal glycogen content. Glycogen ferments to produce alkaline substances, causing the normal vaginal acid value to deviate from 3.5-4.5 to 5.5, destroying the vagina's self-cleaning function and making it easy to be invaded by fungi.
