Patient's question:
I don't know how I ended up getting bacterial vaginosis. I want to ask what the cause is. What are the causes of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Etiology:1. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the ecological balance, destroy the vaginal environment, and lead to the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis.
2. Women with diabetes and pregnancy symptoms are particularly susceptible to this type of disease. Their immune system is obviously weaker, causing the glycogen content in vaginal epithelial cells to continuously increase, enhancing the acidity of the vagina, which helps Candida to grow and develop the disease.
3. Personal hygiene in daily life requires special attention and emphasis to prevent and avoid the recurrence of vaginal infections. For example, using toilet paper to wipe from the anus toward the vagina after defecation can transfer intestinal bacteria to the external genitalia, leading to bacterial vaginosis.
