What is the inflammation of vaginal odor?

Many female friends have recently experienced vaginal odor. This situation seriously threatens the health of many of us and has become a disease that many of our female friends are particularly troubled by. Many female friends do not want to have similar problems themselves and want to get rid of the troubles brought by this disease as soon as possible. Let us understand what kind of inflammation vaginal odor is.

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.
