The horror of vaginitis.
1. Affect fetal development
After a woman suffers from vaginitis, Candida in the vagina can pass through the cervix and penetrate the fetal membranes, causing the fetus to be infected and cause premature birth. When the fetus is delivered vaginally by the mother, it may also be infected by Candida, which often causes oral candidiasis. For example, oral thrush is usually caused by oral Candida infection. In order to avoid infecting the fetus, pregnant women suffering from candida vaginitis should be actively treated.
2. Cause other diseases
If women suffering from Candida vaginitis are not completely cured for a long time, the inflammation may increase, which may lead to other gynecological diseases and pose a more serious threat to women's health and safety.
3. Cause infertility
The change in pH associated with candida vaginitis can inhibit sperm motility, which may affect pregnancy. This is one of the serious dangers of vaginitis.
4. Impact on quality of life
If a woman suffers from candida vaginitis, she will experience symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and vulvar itching, which will bring inconvenience to women’s work and communication, and will also affect women’s normal sexual life.
Things to note when treating vaginitis.
1. Wear cotton underwear
Do not wear tight underwear, which will cause the temperature inside the vagina to increase moderately, which will create an environment for mold to breed. The most scientific way is to choose loose, cotton underwear.
2. Avoid sex
Couples should avoid sexual intercourse and use condoms after recovery. Only when they are sure that there will be no recurrence can they have normal sexual intercourse.
3. Control blood sugar and clean the vulva with alkaline products
The vaginal glycogen content and acidity of diabetic women are relatively high, making them susceptible to mold attacks. While controlling blood sugar, pay attention to cleaning the vulva and use products with a weak alkaline pH.
4. Avoid cross-infection
To avoid cross-talk and repeated infections, towels and underwear should be disinfected every day.
5. Contraception
Many people take oral contraceptive pills for the sake of simplicity, but the estrogen in contraceptive pills can promote mold invasion. If you have vaginitis, stop taking oral contraceptives.
6. Avoid excessive cleaning
Do not frequently use gynecological cleaning and disinfectants, disinfectant pads, etc., as this can easily create a humid and acidic environment for mold.
7. Avoid blind consumption of antibiotics
In the process of treating vaginitis, if cough, fever, headache, etc. occur, do not blindly start taking antibiotics. As everyone knows, taking antibiotics can inhibit some beneficial bacteria, and mold will take the opportunity to multiply.
8. Pregnancy care
Sex hormone levels, vaginal glycogen and acidity will increase during pregnancy, making it easy to be attacked by mold at this time. For the maintenance of pregnant women, it is not suitable to take other medicines.
