What to do if the vagina is inflamed

In acute urethral inflammation, the external urethral opening is red and swollen, the edges are turned outward, the mucosal surface is often adhered by serous or purulent secretions, and sometimes there are shallow ulcers. Microscopically, mucosal edema can be seen, with infiltration of white blood cells, plasma cells and lymphocytes, dilation of capillaries, and congestion of the paraurethral glands or filling with piles of pus cells.

Chronic urethritis lesions are mainly in the posterior urethra, bladder neck and bladder trigone, and sometimes spread to the entire urethra. The surface of the urethral mucosa is rough and dark red and granular. Due to scar contraction, the external urethral opening is smaller than normal. Microscopically, lymphocytes, plasma cells and a small number of white blood cells are seen, as well as an increase in fibroblasts.

Drink plenty of water to increase urine volume, which can flush urethral secretions during urination; use sedatives, analgesics and antispasmodics to relieve pain and pay attention to rest, and avoid sexual intercourse in the short term during the acute phase. Antibiotic treatment (norfloxacin). Select effective antibiotics based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Use pH 4 weak acid care solution to clean the private parts and take antibiotics. In addition to drug treatment, urethral dilation should be performed for chronic urethritis or urethral stricture.

Urethral inflammation is a relatively common disease and we don’t need to worry too much.

Urethritis examination

1. Urinalysis: Examination may reveal leukocytosis or pyuria, accompanied by erythrocytes, and in a few cases, gross hematuria.

2. Three-cup urine test: It can be found that there are a large number of pus cells and red blood cells in the first cup, while the second and third cups are basically normal. The number of bacteria in first-stream urine cell culture was significantly higher than that in midstream urine.

3. Smear examination of urethral or vaginal secretions: Intracellular or extracellular gonococci may be seen in gonococcal urethritis. For nonspecific urethritis, secretions or anterior urethral swabs may be used for culture, which may show a large number of bacterial growth. If no bacteria are found in secretion smears and cultures, there is a possibility of mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, and special methods of culture or PCR testing can be performed.

4. Chronic urethritis requires urethrocystoscopy to clarify the cause of the disease. Sometimes a metal urethral probe can be used to test for stricture in the urethra, and urethrography can be performed if necessary.
