Causes of Vaginitis
Personal Immunity: For most women, the repeated occurrence of vaginitis is entirely due to low personal immunity. During the process of fighting against bacteria and viruses, the vagina becomes a habitat for bacterial reproduction due to excessive moisture and warmth, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance; If the body's resistance and immunity are ideal enough, bacteria will be completely eliminated during the invasion of the vagina. However, if the immunity is insufficient, it can lead to repeated outbreaks of diseases.
Not paying attention to hygiene: The occurrence of vaginitis in some women is caused by poor personal hygiene, whether it is changing clothes or cleaning the body, there are hidden dangers, which can lead to the body falling into a state of repeated or continuous illness.
How to avoid recurrent vaginitis
Maintain personal hygiene
In the process of avoiding recurrent vaginitis, maintaining personal hygiene and dryness is particularly important, and it is also an important link in preventing vaginitis; Only by doing a good job of external genital cleaning and frequently changing underwear in daily life can we avoid leaving space for bacterial growth and survival, and to some extent, it is also the most effective way to prevent vaginitis.
Be cautious when using cleaning products
Most women believe that in order to avoid the torment of vaginitis, it is necessary to use cleaning products carefully during the process of private area cleaning. Only in this way can bacteria be killed in the cradle. However, excessive cleaning will directly damage the vaginal immune system and acid-base balance, thereby increasing the damage of bacteria to the normal vaginal flora. Therefore, women need to pay attention to the scale during the process of private area cleaning to avoid the problem of excessive or excessive use, especially when choosing cleaning solutions. It is recommended to use warm water daily to clean the external genitalia and keep it dry.
Sexual activity should be moderate
If you want to stay away from vaginitis, you must reduce the frequency of sexual activity in daily life, especially before engaging in sexual activity, you need to do personal hygiene cleaning work to avoid bringing bacteria into the uterus or deep vagina. This can provide a cycle for the establishment of a normal bacterial population, which can prevent recurrent vaginitis and improve itching symptoms.
Enhance immunity
To ensure vaginal health, it is necessary to develop scientific exercise habits in daily life. Only by enhancing the body's immunity can it resist bacterial invasion and prevent recurrent vaginal infections.
Actively cooperate with treatment
Once you discover that you have vaginitis, even if the condition is not serious, you must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with treatment, because it is difficult to completely cure vaginitis. In the treatment of the disease, not only should medication be used reasonably, but also lifestyle habits should be taken into account to avoid bacterial invasion into the uterus and pelvic cavity.
Reasonable diet
To avoid recurrent vaginitis, it is important to maintain a light and easily digestible diet in daily life and diet, and avoid consuming excessively stimulating foods that may affect recovery. The use of stimulating foods can cause the body to secrete substances that are not suitable for the recovery of vaginitis, resulting in excessive stimulation and damage to the body, which affects the treatment and prognosis of vaginitis.
Reduce the use time and frequency of pads
Some women are accustomed to using pads during menstruation, thinking that using pads can protect the vagina and prevent the external genitalia from being injured by underwear. However, long-term use of pads can cause the vagina to be in a humid environment for a long time, which not only reduces vaginal permeability but also provides a place for bacterial growth, leading to recurrent vaginitis. Therefore, in daily life, try to reduce the use frequency and frequency of pads, and choose breathable toilet paper such as knife paper during menstruation.
Separate washing of clothes
In daily life, clothes may adhere to different bacteria, or if family members have skin diseases, cleaning them together can increase the incidence of cross infection, causing bacteria to transfer to underwear and enter the vagina, thereby increasing the incidence of vaginitis. Therefore, in daily life, women should clean their underwear separately from underwear and use specialized cleaning solution to clean underwear to avoid bacterial transmission.
Same treatment for husband and wife
If a woman suffers from vaginitis, it can cause pathogenic microorganisms to be transmitted to men through sexual intercourse. In this case, to avoid repeated transmission, it is necessary for husband and wife to treat it together, and to prevent women from being infected again by men after being cured, leading to the recurrence of vaginitis.
A healthy lifestyle
The occurrence of vaginitis is closely related to daily habits, work pressure, dietary structure, etc. Some women often socialize, have frequent nightlife, and work overtime until two or three in the morning in the workplace. At this time, their biological clock is disrupted, leading to a decrease in body resistance and the invasion of harmful bacteria into the human body. Therefore, it is recommended that female compatriots maintain good living habits in daily life, avoid staying up late, working overtime, and avoid wearing tight clothing during hot seasons. They can choose loose, comfortable, and breathable clothing to improve their own comfort, and adjust their emotional state in a reasonable way to maintain psychological comfort.

For example, when trichomonas vaginitis occurs, trichomonas can accumulate in the cervical glands and folds, and systemic drugs can be chosen for treatment; Fungal vaginitis can be treated by rinsing the external genitalia with soda water or by taking a sitz bath; Bacterial vaginitis can be treated with antibiotics or topical medication, and the specific choice of medication should be based on medical advice.
Changing vaginal pH
The vagina can maintain its self-cleaning function in a weak acid environment. During treatment, a weak acid formula nursing solution can be used for treatment. At the same time, wiping should be done after each bowel movement to maintain the principle of from front to back.
