Vulvitis is a common disease and a gynecological disease that poses serious harm to women. After getting sick, we should recognize its severity and actively seek treatment.
Hazards of vulvitis
1. Impact on daily life: If the external genitalia is stimulated by severe inflammation, it can cause diseases such as genital warts, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomonas, and fungal infections, which have a serious impact on the patient's life and pose a serious threat to their physical health.
2. Impact on sexual quality of life: Patients with acute inflammation may experience itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia, as well as varying degrees of swelling and congestion in the skin and mucous membranes of the external genitalia. In severe cases, it can also lead to erosion, ulcers, or large eczema, accompanied by painful urination and sexual intercourse, which affects the quality of sexual life.
3. Impact on fertility: If patients with vulvitis are not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to the spread of inflammation and secondary infection, and it can affect the environmental balance in the vagina, thereby affecting the survival rate of sperm. When the condition is severe, the patient's secretions contain a large number of white blood cells, which can engulf sperm, reduce sperm motility, shorten sperm survival time, and have a certain impact on women's fertility.
4. Transmission to sexual partners: In vulvitis, fungal vulvitis and trichomoniasis vulvitis are highly contagious, especially through sexual transmission. If a patient engages in sexual activity without a cure, their sexual partner has a 50% chance of being infected. Therefore, if a female friend suffers from vulvitis, it is necessary to treat it in a timely manner. It is best to treat both husband and wife at the same time to avoid sexual cross infection, which cannot be completely cured.
Treatment methods for vulvitis
1. General treatment: Vulvitis is often secondary. Women should clean their external genitalia with warm water every day to keep it clean and dry. They should not scratch their underwear, frequently change their underwear, and do not wear synthetic materials or tight underwear. Seriously carry out health care work during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium to prevent vulvitis.
2. Local treatment: In the acute phase, bedridden, sexual activity is prohibited, local stimulation is reduced, and auxiliary treatment such as permanganate solution, sitz bath, and traditional Chinese medicine is used. People with excessive secretions can use disinfected cotton pads to absorb secretions, replace them frequently, and maintain local cleanliness. For cases with obvious and stubborn symptoms, choose effective antibiotics according to the doctor's instructions.
