I went out of the clinic as usual, and before I could open the door, there was a slightly fat girl waiting by the door.
The girl is 27 years old this year, and for nearly a year, vaginitis has not been completely cured. According to her, she has always paid attention to the hygiene of her private parts, and she also takes medication on time, but it is not good!
I carefully looked at her previous medical records and showed that it was fungal vaginitis: vulvar flushing, vaginal white discharge of okara, and redness and swelling of the vaginal mucosa, which was indeed a typical symptom of fungal vaginitis. It stands to reason that symptomatic treatment should not be repeated after the attack.
At this point, I noticed the plastic bag she was carrying, which contained Coke and a few small loaves.
I asked about her diet. She was a little embarrassed to say, Doctor, I usually love to eat sweets, often buy some cakes, preserves and the like to eat as a meal, and eat more when the work pressure is high!
Hearing this, I probably came to a conclusion. So he gave her a blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin checklist. She wondered a little: Doctor, I have vaginitis, why do I have to check my blood sugar?
I solemnly told her: Your repeated vaginitis is not good, it is likely to be caused by the eating habit of sweets.
Excessive blood sugar can disrupt the vaginal ecological balance
This leads to vaginitis that cannot be cured for a long time
Fungal vaginitis, also known as vulvovaginal candida, is a vaginal inflammation caused by candida (Candida). 10% to 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women may have candida parasitism adhering to the vagina, but the amount of bacteria is very small, does not cause an inflammatory response, and is an opportunistic pathogenic bacteria.
Normally, the vaginal ecology is acidic (pH 3.8-4.4). If the acidic environment in the vagina changes and this balance is broken, it can cause vaginal infections.
When eating too much sweets or diabetic patients themselves, at this time the body's glucose metabolism is disordered, blood sugar rises, and the glycogen content in vaginal epithelial cells increases, which increases the acidity in the vagina, which is suitable for the growth and reproduction of Candida bacteria and causes fungal vaginitis.
Even with medication, Candida bacteria are suppressed, but due to the presence of this polysaccharide environment, the vaginal epithelium continues to accumulate glycogen substances. Once the medication is stopped, candida bacteria rekindle and multiply again, resulting in repeated episodes of vaginitis.
Therefore, diabetic patients not only have a high incidence of fungal vaginitis, but also have a high recurrence rate.
Clinically, patients with recurrent episodes of fungal vaginitis are also advised to check blood glucose to confirm whether it is due to the ecological imbalance of the vaginal flora caused by diabetes.
In addition to these habits, these 2 habits can also lead to recurrent episodes of vaginitis.
Excessive cleaning of private areas
Don't be brainwashed by "washing healthier". Under normal circumstances, it is only necessary to wash the vulva with warm water, and there is no need to rinse with various lotions.
In particular, do not use a lavage to flush the inside of the vagina, so as not to disrupt the balance of the vaginal flora and lead to vaginal inflammation.
If you really feel uncomfortable, you need to use gynecological lotion, and you also need to carefully select the lotion.
Gynaecological lotions are divided into three main categories:
●Makeup size: It is a daily toiletry product, and there is not much difference between it and shower gel and soap, but because it contains additives, frequent use also has the risk of causing inflammation, and it is not recommended to use it every day.
●Elimination: It belongs to the disinfection product, which can be sterilized and disinfected, and will destroy beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria together, destroy the ecological environment in the vagina, and lead to the occurrence of gynecological inflammation.
● Drug size: mainly used for various vaginal inflammation, the bactericidal effect is stronger and more targeted than the elimination size, but it will also change the vaginal ecological environment and cannot be used at will.
Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable in your private parts, you should not use the lotion for a long time.
Sex is frequent
Proper sexual activity is good for the body and mind, but too often it is not so good.
Sexual life will lead to an increase in vaginal pH, inhibit the growth of lactobacillus, lead to an imbalance in the vaginal microenvironment, and provide opportunities for some conditional pathogenic bacteria, resulting in vaginal inflammation.
In addition, not paying attention to hygiene before and after sexual life will also lead to the multiplication of a large number of germs in the vagina; if the vagina is damaged because of sexual life, bacteria take the opportunity to "invade", which will also lead to inflammation.
