Many women have this “bad habit”: when they find abnormal leucorrhea and vaginal itching, they think they have vaginitis and immediately go to the pharmacy to buy anti-inflammatory drugs and topical lotions to treat themselves. In fact, this is a wrong behavior. The right thing to do is to visit a regular hospital and get vaginal secretions tested to find out what kind of pathogenic bacteria are causing vaginitis. There are 29 species of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in normal vagina. Although all vaginitis patients may have symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, fishy smell, mild vulvar itching or burning sensation, vaginitis caused by different flora has different symptoms and other gynecological diseases may also cause similar symptoms. If you think you have vaginitis when you have similar symptoms, it is not a scientific approach to the disease. Secondly, once you find out that you have vaginitis, it is very dangerous to buy drugs to wash your vulva or take a lot of oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Under normal circumstances, Lactobacillus vaginalis is dominant and the vagina is acidic, so the vaginal flora can control each other so that women do not get sick. By using a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, the normal vaginal bacteria will be killed and the pathogenic bacteria that cause vaginitis will grow freely, and it is only counterproductive to use drugs before it is clear which pathogenic bacteria are “revolting”. Furthermore, bacteria and viruses have senses and know that there are harmful substances outside the vagina, so they will definitely go up the vaginal infection, to the cervix for cervicitis and to the pelvis for pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. The right thing to do is to check the cause of vaginitis and use drugs to quickly eliminate the inflammation and sterilize the disease.
