A common sense that everyone should know is that women's vaginas are susceptible to bacterial infection, which can cause vaginitis. Therefore, in daily life, women should not only pay attention to their vaginal hygiene, but also pay attention to maintaining the acid-base balance of the vagina. Lactobacillus is an essential bacterium in the female vagina. Its main function is to keep the female vagina in a weakly acidic state. What does it mean when the test result is positive for Lactobacillus? Lactobacillus belongs to the normal flora in the vagina, which can maintain a weakly acidic environment in the female vagina, which is not conducive to the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The lactobacillus you detected should also be this type of beneficial bacteria. The vaginal flora maintains a balanced state. If the imbalance of flora leads to uncomfortable symptoms such as vaginitis, treatment is required. Similarly, too many lactobacilli can cause vaginal odor. At this time, you can take some drugs to treat bacterial vaginitis, such as metronidazole suppositories. Remember to clean the vulva with clean water regularly and maintain personal hygiene. Lactobacillus belongs to the family Lactobacillus and is named after the large amount of lactic acid produced by fermenting sugar. It is widespread, acidophilic The optimum pH for survival is 5.5-6.0. Of course, it can still survive in an environment of pH 3.0-4.5. It is the most acid-resistant among the non-spore-forming Bacillus. Generally reproduces under anaerobic conditions. Lactobacillus is a group of rod-shaped or spherical Gram-positive bacteria with a G+C content of less than 55% in its DNA. It can ferment carbohydrates (mainly glucose) and produce a large amount of lactic acid. It is widely distributed in nature and is one of the important physiological flora in the intestines of animals and humans. The vast majority of bacteria in this group are non-toxic and harmless to animals and humans, and they perform important physiological functions in animals. Among lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus is the largest genus, defined as rod-shaped lactobacilli. The genus Lactobacillus is most closely associated with animals, where it is one of the dominant flora in the intestines and vagina of both animals and humans. Lactobacillus is widely distributed and is present in animals and humans from the mouth to the rectum. The known physiological functions of lactobacillus are mainly manifested as: preventing pathogens from invading and colonizing the intestines, inhibiting pathogens, resisting infection, maintaining the balance of intestinal microecology, preventing and inhibiting the occurrence of tumors, enhancing the body's immunity, promoting digestion, synthesizing amino acids and vitamins, lowering cholesterol, inhibiting the production of endotoxins, delaying aging and anti-radiation, etc. A large number of facts have proved that as long as the number of Lactobacillus in the intestine decreases or is lost, dysbacteriosis occurs, which may lead to the occurrence of certain diseases; as long as the number of Lactobacillus in the intestine increases and the flora is balanced, it can promote body health and treat certain diseases. It can be seen that increasing the number of lactobacilli in the body's intestines is an important measure to prevent and treat certain diseases. |
