Bacterial vaginitis is caused by an imbalance of the normal flora in the vagina and is characterized by an increase in thin vaginal discharge with a fishy odor. The reasons for the recurrence of bacterial vaginitis are too frequent sexual intercourse, frequent vaginal irrigation, and not taking medication strictly according to the doctor’s instructions.
1. Frequent sexual life: too frequent sexual life will lead to a rise in vaginal pH value, which provides favorable conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria.
2. Frequent vaginal douching: Frequent vaginal douching is not only unhygienic, but also destroys the defense function of the vagina and lowers the body’s immunity to bacteria.
3. Failure to take medication strictly according to the doctor’s instructions: some patients reduce the amount of medication or take medication intermittently after their condition is temporarily relieved, resulting in the bacteria still not disappearing.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients suffering from bacterial vaginitis should follow the doctor’s instructions to take medication, pay attention to nutritional supplements and adequate rest during the treatment period, and avoid frequent sexual intercourse and vaginal irrigation.
