Remind women: Pay attention to these 4 things in the treatment of vaginitis, otherwise the condition will easily recur!
When it comes to gynecological diseases, the first thing everyone thinks of is only three words : vaginitis!
The so-called vaginitis refers to inflammation that occurs in the vagina. Normally, a healthy female vagina has the ability to resist the invasion of pathogens. For example, when the vaginal opening is closed, there are bacteria in the vagina that check and balance each other, and the pH is balanced, which will inhibit the reproduction of alkaline pathogens. And the cervical mucus is alkaline.
Therefore, the vagina is not prone to inflammation, but when the natural defense function of the vagina is damaged, pathogens will invade and eventually develop into vaginitis.
After vaginitis occurs, female patients may have multiple discomfort symptoms, such as vulvar itching, burning pain, abnormal leucorrhea, and peculiar smell in private parts, etc. Therefore, once sick, patients are eager to get rid of entanglement. But because of this, some patients often ignore the details of treatment, resulting in recurrent attacks and gradual aggravation of symptoms.
So the question is, after suffering from vaginitis, what should be paid attention to in the treatment?
1. Don't use drugs blindly
The name vaginitis is actually a general term for all types of vaginitis. Clinically in China, vaginitis is divided into many different types, including bacterial, candida, trichomonas, senile and young girls vaginitis and so on.
Among all types of vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis is the most common, accounting for about 22-50% of all patients . Different types of vaginitis require different drug treatments, so patients cannot choose drugs blindly;
2. If necessary, the spouses will rule together
Relevant studies have confirmed that Candida, Trichomonas, etc. can induce vaginitis, and at the same time, they can be transmitted to partners through sex . Therefore, after the diagnosis of these two types of vaginitis, both husband and wife should carry out joint treatment.
Avoid sex during treatment, or have protected sex, that is, wear a condom . The purpose is to avoid cross-infection of pathogens , leading to recurrent episodes of vaginitis;
3. Course of medication
If the treatment is timely and the corresponding drugs are given, the symptoms of vaginitis will be significantly relieved in a short time. Some people stop taking the medicine as soon as the symptoms disappear.
In fact, this approach is unscientific, because there may still be some pathogens hidden under the mucous membrane at this time, but when the vaginal environment is suitable for the survival of pathogenic bacteria, new germs will breed again, resulting in repeated attacks of the patient's condition. Therefore, patients with vaginitis need to take the medicine according to the course of treatment, and do not stop the medicine without authorization;
4. Life adjustment
In addition to scientific medication, in order to recover as soon as possible, patients also need to make adjustments in three major aspects of life, diet and exercise. For example , maintaining regular sleep habits and regular physical activity can improve the body's immunity and allow the body to better resist the invasion of pathogens .
At the same time, patients should also choose a light, nutritious and balanced diet, avoid eating a lot of spicy and irritating food, and avoid heavy drinking .
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the occurrence of vaginitis in most cases is related to the poor sanitation environment of the private parts.
Therefore, women should pay attention to hygiene issues, such as changing underwear in time every day, cleaning the underwear and drying them in the sun, cleaning the vulva every day, and paying attention to sexual hygiene. Only in this way can we avoid repeated attacks of vaginitis and bring greater harm to the body.
