Patient's question:
I have had vaginitis for a long time and have suffered for a long time. I have also visited many hospitals and taken many medications. Generally, it can be temporarily controlled, but the good times don't last, and it recurs again. Vaginitis always recurs repeatedly. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
The frequent occurrence of vaginitis may be due to the disruption of the normal vaginal flora, leading to the overgrowth of opportunistic pathogens. Under normal circumstances, the vagina contains a small amount of opportunistic pathogens such as Candida and Gardnerella bacteria. However, because the dominant Lactobacillus in the vagina can inhibit the abnormal colonization of these opportunistic pathogens, vaginitis may occur if the body's resistance decreases, or if the vagina is excessively cleaned, or if blood sugar levels rise. Vaginitis poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods that may exacerbate the condition are also recommended.
