For female friends, many may suffer from gynecological inflammations, with vaginitis being a very common inflammation characterized by recurrent episodes.
Whether vaginitis is severe or mild, the most common symptoms are abnormal vaginal discharge and itching, causing great embarrassment and discomfort to female friends. However, the recurrent nature of vaginitis troubles many female friends greatly.
Why does vaginitis often persist and recur? Let’s explore the reasons together, only by identifying the cause and treating it accordingly can you maintain good health as a woman.
What should women do if they have inflammation? Consider these five things
Vaginitis requires treatment for both partners.
Many people tend to overlook this point; in reality, treating vaginitis requires both partners to undergo treatment. Only by treating both partners can the bacteria on both sides be suppressed, preventing cross-infection. Moreover, it is highly beneficial for the overall health of both partners. Most importantly, during the treatment of vaginitis, it is crucial to remember not to engage in sexual intercourse.
Avoid discontinuing medication arbitrarily:
Many female friends tend to stop taking medication arbitrarily if their condition improves while treating vaginitis. This is one of the most significant reasons for the recurrent nature of vaginitis. If the medication has just started showing results and you discontinue it at this point, it might lead to the resurgence of bacteria and viruses, causing vaginitis to recur, and even more severely than before.
Avoid excessive use of antibiotics
Many female friends, upon contracting vaginitis, tend to purchase antibiotics on their own to suppress the proliferation of bacteria and viruses. Initially, this may show some effectiveness, but frequent excessive use of antibiotics could lead to bacteria and viruses developing resistance. Remember, antibiotics are not omnipotent. If you experience symptoms like external genital itching, seek immediate medical attention instead of self-medicating, as that is the correct approach. Do not let embarrassment delay treatment.
Maintain personal hygiene:
If a woman has vaginitis, she must pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life. Regularly clean the private area, develop the habit of changing underwear frequently, and sun-dry washed underwear. This can effectively help in anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial actions.
It is essential not to excessively use cleansing agents to clean the private area, as it may disrupt the natural pH balance and lead to recurrent vaginitis.
Avoid consuming spicy and stimulating foods:
For female friends, it’s important to maintain a light diet in daily life, especially avoiding or reducing the intake of spicy and stimulating foods, as this can help alleviate the situation of vaginitis.
