After many girls get vaginitis, they find that repeated repetition is always not cured. There are also many sisters on the Internet who have complained about the painful experience of vaginitis that has not been cured for a long time and recurs as soon as the drug is stopped.
Why is vaginitis always repeated, and what should be paid attention to in life to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of vaginitis to the greatest extent?
1. Unclean sex life
Once vaginitis is diagnosed (fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis vaginitis), be sure to have your partner also checked and treated.
If the man is ill but untreated, it is easy to cause repeated episodes of vaginitis in girls.
For example, trichomoniasis vaginitis, the cause of infection is mostly unclean sexual life.
Therefore, after the diagnosis of trichomoniasis vaginitis in girls, men should also be treated together, and unprotected sex should be avoided before cure [1], otherwise it is easy to cross infection.
Another example is fungal vaginitis, if the woman has symptoms in a year and has more than 4 episodes (confirmed by mycological examination), it is recurrent fungal vaginitis.
At this time, the male partner should be examined at the same time, and if necessary, co-treated with men and women [2].
In addition, if the man suffers from prostatitis or inflammation of the urinary system, he should also be treated promptly and avoid intercourse during treatment.
Sisters also need to pay attention to the fact that the habit of intercourse is not good, such as not wearing condoms during sex, not rinsing before and after sex, intercourse during menstruation, etc., which can easily lead to repeated vaginitis in girls.
2. Same room during medication
No matter which kind of vaginitis, it is impossible to have the same room during the treatment of medication, which will make the hard work of examination, treatment and medication be abandoned.
3. Love to be clean too much, and may also quietly hurt the vagina
The vagina has a strong self-purification function, long-term vaginal lavage, the use of vulvar lotion and vaginal care products every day, will destroy the vagina's healthy and balanced micro-ecological environment, suppress beneficial bacteria (lactic acid bacteria), let anaerobic bacteria rampantly multiply, resulting in vaginitis.
And when winter comes, the sisters like to take a bath in hot water, and may wash it many times a day to clean their private parts.
But too much hot water and too frequent cleaning can dry out the vulva and vagina and hurt the delicate skin of the private parts.
So the water is warm and warm, not too hot, and you don't have to wash too many times a day.
In addition, if you want to prevent the recurrence of vaginitis, you should also try to avoid bathing, because the already injured vagina has no resistance to water, and bathing can easily cause aggravation of infection symptoms.
4. Private parts are "not breathable", which may cause vaginitis
In daily life, in order to work and study, we often sit for hours at a time. In fact, sitting for a long time and wearing tight pants and chemical fiber underwear will increase the temperature and humidity of the private parts and provide a hotbed for pathogenic bacteria.
5. Do not wash underwear, may also cause vaginitis
In the case of recurrent episodes of vaginitis, it is recommended to sterilize the panties at high temperature, or discard the previous underwear, replace them with new cotton underwear, and change them every day.
In daily life, underwear is not disinfected by high temperature, as long as it is soaked in warm water with laundry detergent or underwear special detergent, and scrubbed with running water.
6. Improper preservation of sanitary napkins may harm private parts
Sanitary napkins are disposable disinfection products, and the closer to the production date, the more secure the sanitary status.
If a large number of sanitary napkins are stored but improperly preserved, such as in a dark and humid environment such as a toilet, it is easy to breed mold in sanitary napkins.
Therefore, the amount of sanitary napkins in 3-4 months is better, if you buy more, it is best to put them in a cool, dry and ventilated place to keep it well.
1. When vaginitis occurs, do not use your own medication
Because of repeated episodes of vaginitis, many sisters think that they have been "cured of a long illness" and use the remaining medicines from the last treatment, or buy the same drugs as the last treatment.
This may seem convenient, but in fact, recurrent vaginitis is complex, and we cannot judge the cause ourselves and what treatment measures should be taken.
Therefore, we must go to the regular hospital for examination and treatment, and use the right medicine to get better quickly.
2. Insufficient medication course may also make vaginitis repeated
Although some sisters went to the hospital for examination, they did not use the medication according to the prescribed course of treatment, resulting in insufficient medication, or stopped taking the medication when they felt good. These medications are prone to recurrent vaginitis.
So be sure to follow your doctor's instructions!
3. Fall into the trap of the "Putian Department" hospital and delay the condition
The sister who accidentally went to putian Hospital may have been diagnosed by the hospital with a bunch of "cervical erosions" and "pelvic effusions".
With the use of "infrared" or even "gene therapy", such treatment not only costs more and more money, but also cannot be cured.
4. Long-term use of antibiotics may lead to repeated vaginitis
The abuse of "anti-inflammatory drugs" such as cephalosporin and amoxicillin in our lives is all too common! Some sisters have to use "anti-inflammatory drugs" when they have colds, sore throats, diarrhea, and even acne scars.
These antibiotics can mistakenly kill good bacteria that protect the vagina, such as lactic acid bacteria, and then destroy the vaginal microecology and induce vaginitis.
If mycotic vaginitis is diagnosed more than 4 times in a year, the possibility of diabetes induction should also be considered.
After diabetes, blood sugar levels rise, resulting in excess sugar in the urine, which is the "food" that Candida loves.
Diabetic patients usually urinate, if there is a little urine left in the vulva, it will make Candida overgrow, inducing candid vaginitis, which is what we often call moldy vaginitis.
Vaginitis is not a "terminal illness" and hopefully the sisters will not be afraid of it.
This is not an empty phrase, as studies have shown that:
Among patients with chronic gynecological diseases, including vaginitis, 45.28% had anxiety and depression. Negative emotions such as anxiety and depression can lead to a decrease in the body's immune defense mechanisms, causing the recurrence of diseases such as inflammation [4].
Calm mentality, can make us strong from the body to the heart, we are not afraid of illness, correct treatment, change lifestyle, must be able to say goodbye to vaginitis!
