What should I do if my vagina is not clean?

Poor vaginal cleanliness indicates that it is caused by vaginitis. If you don’t have any symptoms of discomfort in your body, you don’t need to worry too much. Find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. Vaginitis is usually caused by poor local hygiene habits or frequent sexual life. We should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the genitals, take a bath frequently, eat a light diet, and develop good living habits.

Count the symptoms of vaginal candidiasis

1. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are itching and burning pain of the vulva and vagina. Some patients also have frequent urination, dysuria and pain during sexual intercourse. In severe cases, the patient may become restless, upset, and extremely painful. 2. The typical leucorrhea of ​​candidal vaginitis is white, thick, curd-like or tofu-like. 3. Gynecological examination revealed geographic erythema, edema, and scratches on the vulva; edema and erythema on the vagina, and white lumps on the inner side of the labia minora and the vaginal wall. After erasing, the mucosal surface is left red and swollen, and in a few cases, erosion and superficial ulcers can be seen. 4. Some patients do not have the above typical characteristics, but only feel vulvar itching, and the leucorrhea is watery or thin, clear serous exudate. Candida species can also be detected in these patients through laboratory tests. 5. The above symptoms of candidal vaginitis during pregnancy are more obvious, which has a great impact on the physical and mental health of pregnant women. 6. Candidal vaginitis recurs repeatedly, and the affected area spreads from the vulva to the perineum, around the anus, and the femoral genital folds, and even to the inner thighs, which is completely similar to acute or subacute eczema. The mucous membranes near the labia and clitoris are thickened, and the skin surfaces that contact each other become red and eroded. In some cases, it can cause tiny white pustules, and in severe cases, ulcers, vulvar pain and local lymph node enlargement may occur.

Four hazards of candidal vaginitis

1. Cause infertility

We know that under normal circumstances, the vagina has a relatively safe environment with a relatively balanced flora and a relatively balanced acidity and alkalinity. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur. If you suffer from candidal vaginitis, the change in vaginal acidity and alkalinity will inhibit sperm motility, and inflammatory cells can phagocytize sperm and weaken sperm motility. Candida albicans has the effect of agglutinating sperm, and sexual intercourse pain and decreased libido during inflammation can all affect pregnancy. This type of infertility can quickly return to normal after active treatment. However, the infertility caused by candidal vaginitis is temporary and conception is still possible after the disease is cured.

After a pregnant woman becomes ill, in a very small number of cases the Candida albicans in the vagina can ascend through the cervix, penetrate the fetal membrane and infect the fetus, causing premature birth. In addition, when the fetus is delivered vaginally by the mother, it may also be infected with Candida albicans, which often causes oral candidiasis. For example, thrush, as it is commonly known, is caused by oral Candida albicans infection. Some infants may also develop perianal candidal dermatitis. It can be seen from this that in order to avoid infecting the fetus, pregnant women with candidal vaginitis should actively seek treatment. 3. Cause other serious gynecological diseases

If candidal vaginitis is not treated for a long time, it can easily cause ascending inflammation, leading to cervicitis and cervical erosion. If the pathogen enters the uterine cavity, it can cause fallopian tube and ovarian inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and ultimately affect pregnancy. 4. Affect the quality of sex life and destroy the relationship between husband and wife

If you have candidal vaginitis, you will have symptoms such as vulvar itching, which will cause many inconveniences and impacts on women's life and work, and will also affect the couple's life.
