Vulvitis is a common gynecological disease, and there are many factors that can cause the disease. It is not only related to the disease, but also to daily habits. It is necessary to pay attention to prevention in daily life.
Causes of vulvitis
1. Poor personal hygiene: In daily life, female friends should pay special attention to their personal hygiene, especially during menstruation and postpartum periods. They should pay attention to using qualified hygiene products and try not to swim or soak in hot springs in public places
2. Antibiotic reasons: If women frequently take drugs containing antibiotics, their condition can generally be alleviated, but they can kill harmful bacteria while killing them. The imbalance of the bacterial community in the female genital area can cause vulvitis.
3. Improper dressing: Women's choice of dressing is also very important. If they always wear some chemical fiber underwear or use hygiene products without strict disinfection standards, it can easily lead to poor ventilation of the female genital skin, itching, and ultimately vulvitis.
4. Sexually transmitted diseases: Genital warts mostly occur in the vaginal wall, cervical opening, and vulva of women, and there may also be foul smelling vaginal discharge. Infectious soft warts that occur in the vulva are often manifested as circular papules with a central umbilical fossa like depression, which can also cause vulvar inflammation.
5. Drug allergy: Fixed type drug rash caused by the use of sulfonamides or other drugs in women with allergic constitution, often occurring at the boundary of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia. In addition to local itching, it can also be accompanied by erosion and exudation.
6. Inflammatory secretion stimulation: Due to inflammation or tumors of reproductive organs such as cervicitis, cervical cancer, and various vaginitis, the inflammatory secretion flows into the vagina, stimulating the skin and mucous membranes of the external genitalia or prolonging the physiological day. Stimulation of menstrual blood, lochia, menstrual pads, and other factors leads to a decrease in local resistance and the occurrence of external genitalia inflammation.
7. For other factors such as anal fistula, urinary fistula, diabetes, diabetes, and systemic chronic diseases, if the vulva cannot be kept clean and dry, the local resistance will decline, bacteria will easily invade, and the vulva skin and mucosa will be mixed infected. The common pathogens are staphylococcus, streptococcus or Escherichia coli. The pathological changes mainly include redness, swelling, heat, pain, and dysfunction in the local area of inflammation, presenting three forms of changes: deterioration, exudation, and proliferation.
Preventing vulvitis
1. Don't take a shower in a public bathroom: especially for women who enjoy swimming, pay attention to hygiene and choose a place with a good environment. In addition, it is best to take a shower and avoid using towels, pots, etc. to avoid cross infection.
