Patient's question:
Has not had sexual behavior, women will get gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological inflammation primarily refers to the inflammation of female reproductive organs. Various organs in women can develop acute and chronic inflammation, including vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. The normal vagina contains a large number of lactobacilli, which decompose glycogen to produce lactic acid, creating an acidic environment that is unfavorable for the growth of harmful bacteria. However, when local or systemic resistance declines, some bacteria and pathogens take advantage of the opportunity to cause illness, and the incidence rate is also higher in unmarried women. Prevention suggestions include wearing soft, loose, and wide underwear, preferably made of cotton. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the external genital area, avoid unprotected sex, change sanitary pads promptly during menstruation, avoid tub baths or sitz baths, and opt for showers to prevent pathogens from entering.
