As the weather warms up
The temperature is getting higher and higher
Many sisters have similar unspeakable troubles
I feel like I'm getting more secretions underneath me
It's a little ticklish
Sometimes there is a strange smell
Some people go to the hospital after a visit
After examination, it was found to be vaginitis
And most likely it is vulvovaginal candidiasis
Colloquially known as nephrogenitis
What is fungal vaginitis
Fungal vaginitis, also called vulvovaginal candidiasis or candidal vaginitis. Since the vagina is directly connected to the outside world, it is easy to become infected and inflamed. The main pathogen of fungal vaginitis is Candida, which can live in normal symbiosis with humans, but its abnormal multiplication can lead to human infection. When the body is weak, the resistance of the reproductive tract decreases, the glycogen in the vagina increases, the acidity increases, and the long-term use of antibiotics and adrenocorticosteroids can lead to the abnormal growth of Candida.
Seeing this, some sisters are going to ask
Own fungal vaginitis
It's clear that it's cured, why did it happen again?
It is mainly related to the immune hyperreactivity of the vaginal mucosa
Individual susceptibility varies, and some people are more likely to get it
Therefore, the probability of recurrence is also relatively high
In addition to this, fungal vaginitis is prone to recurrence
It can also be related to the following three situations
1. Don't pay attention to hygiene
Especially during menstruation, use unclean or expired sanitary napkins and toilet paper, and wash underwear and socks together.
In addition, the presence of unclean sex or multiple sexual partners and inappropriate sexual lifestyle can also lead to recurrent fungal vaginitis.
2. The treatment is not standardized/the treatment is not thorough
When some women encounter symptoms such as vulvar itching, they buy medication on their own, or often use vulvar lotion, which changes the environment in the vagina and imbalances the flora, resulting in increased drug resistance.
There are also some women who stop taking the drug when their symptoms improve slightly, but in fact, it only reduces the number of candida and does not really cure it.
3. Lowering body resistance
For example, patients with diabetes and long-term use of immunosuppressants are prone to fungal vaginitis.
How to avoid recurrent episodes of fungal vaginitis
1. Do not abuse antibiotics. Follow the doctor's instructions for examination, medication, and regular follow-up examinations.
2. For patients with immune system diseases, it is recommended to check for fungal infections regularly, diagnose and treat them in time, and do not delay the disease.
Pay attention to exercise, keep a good mood, and eat less sweets to avoid high blood sugar.
3. Do not use expired hygiene products.
4. Avoid unprotected sex and use condoms properly.
5. Keep your private parts clean, your vulva dry, and practice good hygiene.
How to avoid recurrent episodes of fungal vaginitis
Be sure to choose a regular medical institution for examination and treatment to ensure that you get the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Secondly, during the treatment process, under the guidance of the doctor, take the medication according to the course of treatment, and do not use the drug at will or stop the drug without authorization, so as to avoid causing the imbalance of beneficial bacteria in the vagina and intestines and aggravating the condition.
After the symptoms improve, do not be careless to avoid recurrence. After the end of general treatment, the leucorrhea is re-examined once a month for 3 consecutive months, and the leucorrhea test result is negative before the clinical diagnosis is cured. It is recommended that you consult with your doctor in detail to clarify the time of the follow-up examination.
Finally, sisters should also pay attention to strengthening their immunity, such as getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising properly.
