Vulvitis is a relatively familiar disease for women, and it is also one of the more serious diseases, especially recurrent attacks, which make many women particularly distressed. Therefore, we should pay attention to reasonable treatment and prevention.
Causes of recurrent vulvitis
1. Insufficient medication course is the most common cause of recurrence of vaginitis. Many women, after a period of treatment, feel that their symptoms have improved and feel that the disease has been cured. They stop without completing a course of treatment. In fact, the treatment effect of vaginitis cannot be judged solely by symptoms, especially bacterial vaginitis, where bacteria may still exist even without obvious symptoms. So, in order to cure vaginitis, patients must trust the doctor's treatment plan and follow the doctor's instructions for standardized treatment. Generally speaking, there are no issues with the examination before and after menstruation for three consecutive months, indicating a cure.
2. Disorderly medication and dressing changes. Due to the prevalence of vaginitis among women, patients prefer to purchase medication such as lotions at pharmacies for treatment. After using it for a period of time, if it doesn't work, they try changing their medication themselves. This "try and try" treatment mentality causes delays in the condition, and vaginitis can be classified into multiple categories. Misuse of medication when undiagnosed vaginitis is likely to have adverse effects.
3. An unhealthy lifestyle leads to a decrease in immunity. Modern people have a lot of pressure in their daily lives, and their diet and rest habits have undergone significant changes. They stay up late and work overtime without eating at all. In order to maintain a healthy diet, the body's resistance decreases, and the immune system in private parts also decreases. Harmful bacteria take advantage of this, especially in patients with vaginitis
4. Sexual activity is not clean. Vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual activity, and unclean sexual activity can bring in foreign bacteria. Therefore, if vaginitis recurs, couples should treat it together. Men can receive diagnosis from urology and dermatology departments.
5. Incorrect cleaning method. Incorrect long-term use of various vaginal lotions and suppositories. For example, washing the external genitalia with soap and bath solution, and bathing with antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine can lead to recurrent symptoms.
6. Patients who take immunosuppressants, hormone drugs and antibiotic for a long time, such as diabetes patients, are prone to recurrent vaginitis.
