Patient's question:
What are the consequences of leaving vaginitis untreated for a long time? I have had vaginitis for many years. Sometimes it doesn't hurt or itch, and I don't know what to do. I just use a liquid to wash it. Now I'm very worried that if it's not treated for a long time, it might transfer to other diseases.Doctor's answer:
Hello, long-term bacterial infection can easily lead to vaginal acid-base imbalance. The cervix, long exposed to a poor environment, can cause edema, congestion, and upward infection, which has a significant impact on the development of the endometrium, fallopian tubes, etc., and can easily lead to infertility. Vaginitis comes in many types. Common bacterial infections, fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and types of vaginitis combined with mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, etc. Diagnosis requires laboratory tests of vaginal discharge to identify the pathogen for targeted treatment. It is recommended to use new and special medications, combined with high-tech methods such as microwave and spectral technology, and to apply traditional Chinese medicine formulas, ion, and deep irrigation, among other methods, to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
