Patient's question:
What are the hazards of gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Answer: Be cautious of vaginitis in summerVaginitis refers to a group of inflammatory diseases of the vaginal mucosa caused by different pathogens. A healthy woman's vagina has natural defensive functions due to its anatomical structure, which prevents inflammation. However, when the natural defense mechanism of the vagina is compromised, pathogens can easily invade, leading to vaginitis. Symptoms often include special itching, increased vaginal discharge, odor, burning pain, and other discomforts.
There are many pathogens that can cause vaginitis, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, Candida, Chlamydia, etc. The most common vaginal infections clinically are bacterial vaginosis caused by various bacteria, as well as infections caused by trichomonas and Candida albicans.
