What causes bacterial vaginitis?

What causes bacterial vaginitis? Bacterial vaginitis is a type of vaginal inflammation infection, mainly caused by pathogenic bacteria. After suffering from bacterial vaginitis, daily care is also very important. In addition to paying attention to personal hygiene, you should avoid using the same towel with your family members, and boil your underwear and expose it to the sun to avoid infecting others.

1. Indirect contact transmission

Indirect contact infection is a transmission route of bacterial vaginitis. The main ways of contact include public toilet seats, public bathtubs, public bathhouse seats, public towels, and the use of unclean toilet paper or sanitary napkins.

2. Excessive cleaning

There is a balance of acidity and alkalinity in the female vagina. Once it is broken, it is easy to suffer from bacterial vaginitis. In order to keep the vulva clean, many women excessively use medicine to clean the vulva and vagina, which leads to an imbalance of the acid-base environment in the vagina and thus suffer from bacterial vaginitis.

3. Overuse of antibiotics

Excessive use of antibiotics is also one of the factors that lead to bacterial vaginitis. Long-term and excessive use of antibiotics will change the vaginal microenvironment, causing bacterial pathogens to multiply and ultimately leading to localized bacterial vaginitis.

4. Sexual transmission

Sexual transmission is not only one of the transmission routes of candidal vaginitis, but also one of the transmission routes of bacterial vaginitis. According to statistics, about 10% of women suffering from bacterial vaginitis are infected from men, so the occurrence of bacterial vaginitis may also be caused by infection from men.

5. Nursing measures

1. The treatment of primary bacterial vaginitis should not only pay attention to the use of medication, but also pay attention to the psychological and spiritual care of the patient. The patient's family members and medical staff should promptly and correctly introduce the hazards and prognosis of the disease to the patient so that the patient has a clear understanding of the disease and actively cooperates with the treatment.

2. Get adequate rest. Patients with bacterial vaginosis should pay attention to rest and try to conserve their physical strength. Avoid overwork. It is common in clinical practice that sexually transmitted diseases worsen or relapse due to overwork. Patients with acute gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease should all rest in bed. Patients with chronic sexually transmitted diseases should avoid staying up late, working or entertaining all night long, otherwise it will seriously affect the treatment effect and cause the disease to prolong its course.

3. When patients are undergoing treatment for primary bacterial vaginitis, no matter what treatment method is used, they should pay attention to facing it with a positive attitude and persist in the treatment, which will achieve good treatment results. In addition, you must be prepared for long-term care and never give up halfway, especially when the condition improves, you must not be careless.

4. Improve nutrition. After treatment of bacterial vaginosis, you should pay attention to strengthening nutritional supplements. Milk, eggs, fish, pork, and soy products are rich in protein and other nutrients, which can help repair tissues, enhance the body's immunity, and promote body recovery. In addition, you should also pay attention to supplementing vitamins and trace elements. When suffering from acute sexually transmitted diseases, you can take vitamin C because vitamin C can enhance immunity and anti-inflammatory.
