Treatment for vaginal odor

Although the odor at the vaginal opening will not directly cause us great pain, it may worsen the condition and cause us great harm. It may also cause vaginitis. The consequences of vaginitis are quite serious and require us to spend a long time to treat. Let me briefly introduce to you the treatment method of odor at the vaginal opening.

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, aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria live in the vagina, forming normal vaginal flora. If the ecological balance between the vagina and the bacterial flora is disrupted for any reason, conditional pathogens may form. Common clinical conditions include: bacterial vaginosis, candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis vaginitis, senile vaginitis, and juvenile vaginitis.

1. Bacterial vaginosis

The principle of treatment is to use anti-anaerobic drugs, mainly metronidazole, tinidazole, and clindamycin.

(1) Oral medication: Metronidazole is the first choice.

(2) Local drug treatment.

(3) Sexual partners do not require routine treatment.

2. Candidal vaginitis

(1) Eliminate the cause: If you have diabetes, you should be treated actively and stop using broad-spectrum antibiotics, estrogen and cortisol in time. Change your underwear frequently, and wash used underwear, basins, and towels with boiling water.

The treatment of vaginal odor also requires our own physical fitness and symptoms to choose a treatment method that suits us. The choice of method must not be blind. Inappropriate methods cannot achieve a good healing effect, and will also make a lot of our medical expenses counterproductive.
