What is Chronic Vaginitis and How Does It Occur?

Chronic vaginitis is also a common gynecological disease in clinical practice, and many reasons may lead to the symptoms of vaginitis in women. There are different methods for treating vaginitis caused by different reasons, and mild chronic vaginitis can also be improved through life care. Therefore, the cause of the disease is one of the factors that people need to consider during treatment. So what is chronic vaginitis?

The patient population of chronic vaginitis is not only married women, but also some underage girls may suffer from chronic vaginitis. For example, girls who wear open pants may contract the disease because they do not pay attention to hygiene when playing, such as sitting on the ground or crawling on the ground randomly. Sometimes, inserting dirty fingers into the vagina may also cause bacterial infection of the vagina and induce chronic vaginitis. Therefore, parents should pay more attention, not let their children wear open pants, and tell them to keep hygiene and clean their external genitalia frequently.

Chronic vaginitis may also affect newly adult girls who do not understand menstrual hygiene and use toilet paper or sanitary napkins randomly. Unsanitary toilet paper can cause bacterial infection of the external genitalia and lead to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, girls who have just started menstruating should pay more attention to correctly using sanitary napkins.

Most patients with chronic vaginitis are adult women. The causes of the disease include drug abuse, which disrupts the vagina, or wearing non-breathable underwear that leads to bacterial growth. Chronic vaginitis is also prone to occur during pregnancy because the vaginal acidity increases during pregnancy, allowing bacteria to proliferate. If hygiene is not taken seriously or there are unhealthy habits, chronic vaginitis may occur.
