### One: Inadequate Treatment
Improper Medication Use: Many patients stop taking medication without completing the full treatment course prescribed by the doctor, leading to incomplete treatment where the pathogen is not completely eliminated, thus causing recurrence.
Neglecting Follow-up Examinations: Some patients ignore follow-up examinations after medication, and patients with vaginitis usually need to be rechecked for multiple menstrual cycles to ensure complete recovery.
### Two: Cross Infection
Untreated Sexual Partners: Vaginitis is often a sexually transmitted disease. If the male partner does not undergo treatment, there may be repeated cross infections during sexual intercourse, especially for patients with Trichomonas vaginalis vaginitis.
Poor Personal Hygiene Habits: Practices such as mixing underwear with other clothing, drying underwear in dark and poorly ventilated areas, can create a breeding ground for pathogens, leading to recurrent vaginitis.
### Three: Physical Condition and Lifestyle Habits
Taking High Dose Antibiotics or Having Diabetes: These conditions may lower the body’s resistance, increasing the chances of developing vaginal yeast infections.
Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits: Practices such as frequent vaginal douching, tub baths, frequent sexual activity, wearing synthetic underwear, using sanitary pads outside of menstruation may disrupt the vaginal environment, causing an imbalance in the flora and leading to vaginitis.
### Four: Psychological and Endocrine Factors
Anxiety, Depression, and High Life Stress Levels: These psychological factors may affect the endocrine system, increasing the recurrence rate of vaginitis.
Endocrine Changes: Prolonged use of oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, menstrual irregularities, pregnancy, etc., may also affect the vaginal environment, increasing the risk of recurring vaginitis.
### How to Prevent Recurrent Vaginitis
To prevent recurrent vaginitis, women should take the following steps:
Proper Treatment: Adhere to the prescribed treatment course by the doctor, have regular check-ups to ensure complete recovery.
Maintain Personal Hygiene: Keep the external genital area clean and dry, change underwear frequently, wash underwear separately and dry them in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid Cross Infections: Sexual partners should both undergo treatment, and using condoms can reduce the risk of cross infections.
Adjust Lifestyle Habits: Avoid excessive vaginal douching, tub baths, and choose breathable cotton underwear.
Boost Immunity: Maintain a positive mood, avoid excessive fatigue and stress; enhance nutrition, exercise, and improve body resistance.
