Remind women: 4 major misunderstandings need to be avoided in the treatment of vaginitis, otherwise it is equivalent to 'digging a hole' for yourself

Judging from the current clinical data in China, there are only three words for the most common gynecological disease in women: vaginitis!

　　The so-called vaginitis, as the name suggests, is the inflammation of the inside of the vagina. You must know that under normal circumstances, the vagina has the ability to protect and clean itself, and there are a large number of bacterial flora distributed in the vagina, which play a role in checking and balancing each other.

　　Once affected by other factors, the bacterial flora in the vagina is unbalanced and pathogens invade, which will cause the onset of vaginitis.

　　Vaginitis is clinically divided into several different pathological types, the reason for this is that the pathogens that induce vaginitis are different. For example , vaginitis caused by bacterial infection is called bacterial vaginosis .

　　In addition, candidal vaginitis, trichomonas vaginitis, vaginitis in elderly and young women, etc., are all common types. After the disease, the patient will have many genital symptoms, such as genital itching, vaginal burning, abnormal vaginal discharge with peculiar smell, vulvar irritation and so on.

　　From a clinical point of view, vaginitis needs to be treated in time, and the following misunderstandings should be avoided:

　　1. Blind use of antibiotics

　　There are many girls who mistakenly believe that as long as it is inflammation, antibiotics are needed for treatment. Moreover, out of shyness, some women are reluctant to seek medical attention after vaginitis occurs.

　　As everyone knows , antibiotics can indeed play an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect, but different types of vaginitis use different types of drugs .

　　Blind abuse of antibiotics is likely to cause bacteria to develop resistance, and antibiotics will also destroy the normal balance of vaginal flora, which will eventually lead to the crazy growth of bacteria, but will make the disease more and more serious;

　　2. Blind abuse of lotion or suppository

　　Affected by the publicity of some health products and drugs, some patients believe that as long as it is vaginitis, suppositories and lotions can be used for treatment.

　　However, as mentioned above, the treatment methods for different vaginitis are different. Without the premise of determining the type of vaginitis, the blind use of suppositories or lotions may kill the beneficial flora in the vagina and cause pathogens The madness breeds, making the disease more serious;

3. Discontinue the drug immediately after symptoms disappear

　　Usually, after the symptomatic treatment is started, the local symptoms of the patient's vagina will be relieved, such as less itching, and the odor of leucorrhea disappears.

　　Many patients blindly believe that the reduction or disappearance of symptoms is the manifestation of the cure of the disease, so they discontinue the drug without medical advice. As everyone knows, the treatment of vaginitis also requires a course of treatment. Blind withdrawal of the drug may lead to repeated episodes of the disease, or even aggravation of the disease;

　　4. Have sex

　　Of course, this is not to say that everyone is not allowed to live a married life during the illness, but to pay attention to sexual hygiene, because the vagina has been infected at this time, and some pathogens will be transmitted between husband and wife together , including mold Sex, candidal vaginitis , etc.

　　After the diagnosis of these two types of vaginitis, both husband and wife should be treated together , and at the same time, it is necessary to avoid sexual life without any protective measures, and pay attention to hygiene before and after sex.

　　In addition to staying away from the above four misunderstandings, patients with vaginitis should also pay attention to daily health care.

　　For example, wash the vulva with flowing warm water every day, wash the underwear in time, it is best to scald and wash the underwear with boiling water, and put the underwear in the sun to dry, etc., which can effectively kill pathogens, and then play a role in adjuvant therapy.
