Girls need to see: the vagina is not to be ignored!

The vagina is an important sexual organ for women and is very important to them.

The microenvironment of the vagina is also very fragile and if it is damaged, it can easily become unbalanced and cause various intimate problems.

Here we are going to talk about what kind of habits are silently damaging women's vaginas.

Inappropriate sexual behaviour

Moderate sex is good for the body, but each time you have sex it temporarily disturbs the acid-base balance of the vagina.

If it's too frequent (>5 times a week), it leads to a prolonged vaginal acid-base imbalance, which not only inhibits the growth of vaginal lactobacilli, but also provides the right conditions for the reproduction of some pathogens, for example Trichomonas vaginalis, which does not grow in an environment with a pH of 7.5, and when the pH is right, Trichomonas vaginalis reproduces and triggers Trichomonas vaginitis.

In addition, unclean sex, the use of unclean utensils, foreign objects or wiping past the vaginal opening after bowel movements can introduce large numbers of bacteria.

If these bacteria exceed the vagina's self-cleaning ability and cannot be eliminated, they will multiply in the vagina and cause inflammation.

Sex toys made of soft plastic and rubber can create tiny indentations and grooves over time, which can easily harbour bacteria.

If they are inserted into the vagina at this time, they can cause infection.

Look for silicone, stainless steel and other components when buying. Remember to wash your toy after use.

In addition, rough sex can damage the vaginal lining, causing it to shed and become a gateway for bacteria to enter, triggering inflammation.

So use lubricant moderately during intercourse, and water-based lubricant is your essential choice:

Frequent vaginal cleaning

Many people believe that cleaning the vagina regularly will prevent vaginitis. In fact, it is not usually necessary to use a cleansing solution to wash the vagina, and frequent washing destroys the balance of the vaginal flora.

At pH < 4.5, the vaginal flora is dominated by lactobacilli, which are the guardians of the female vagina and can use the glycogen material of the vaginal epithelial cells to produce acid and hydrogen peroxide, which play a role in sterilisation, maintaining an acidic environment and improving the self-cleaning effect of the vagina.

If this flora is removed and the pH of the vagina is raised, the Gardnerella-based flora will begin to proliferate and the lactobacilli will decrease due to the pH imbalance and the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis will begin to appear.

Therefore, in addition to the necessary to follow the doctor's recommendations to wash, usually do not need to wash the vagina, if necessary can go to a professional regular intimate plastic surgery hospital for regular cleaning and care.

Misuse of different medicines

Many women with vaginal discomfort or vaginitis are too scared and embarrassed to go to the hospital for help.

Instead, they believe in solutions found on the internet and in small roadside advertisements, and abuse a variety of vaginal plugs, such as antibiotic ointment, etc.

This inhibits the growth of lactobacilli in the vagina and disrupts the acid-base balance.

As a result, the growth of lactobacillus bacteria in the vagina is inhibited and the acid-base balance is disrupted, leading to the proliferation of other bacteria, which can trigger or aggravate vaginitis.

Therefore, if a woman feels uncomfortable with her vagina, it is best not to take medication on her own, but to go to the hospital to find out the cause of the disease and to use medication sensibly under the advice of the doctor.

Eating sweets regularly

Yes, you heard right, eating sweets regularly can also lead to vaginitis, especially mycotic vaginitis.

Mycotic vaginitis is a disease of vaginal flora imbalance caused by the proliferation of Candida albicans as the main organism, which is mainly manifested as white, tofu-like leukorrhoea with a fishy odour.

Frequent consumption of large amounts of sweets, even to the point of elevated blood glucose levels, greatly increases the glycogen content of the vaginal epithelial cells and thus the acid production of lactobacilli, leading to an increase in the acidity of the vagina and a decrease in immunity, giving the fungus an opportunity to multiply in large numbers and cause mycosis vaginalis.

Therefore, diabetes mellitus is a high-risk group for mycosis fungoides, not only the incidence rate is high, but also the recurrence rate is high, for this kind of patients, it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention of vaginitis; for people without diabetes mellitus, it is also necessary to control the intake of sugar and prevent the occurrence of mycosis fungoides.

In conclusion, in terms of lifestyle, first of all, do not use vaginal lotion indiscriminately, do not take antibiotics, exercise more, control blood sugar.

At the same time, should pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear, have mouldy inflammation, underwear is best in the sun exposure over, avoid by the tight or not dry underwear.
