How to Prevent Chronic Vulvitis?

Vulvitis is an inflammation of the vulvar mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, and it is the most common gynecological disease. Normally healthy women have a natural defensive ability against the invasion of pathogens in their private parts. When this natural defense is compromised, pathogens can easily invade, leading to vulvitis. Common types of vulvitis include bacterial vulvitis, trichomoniasis vulvitis, chronic vulvitis, and senile vulvitis. Clinically, patients with vulvitis usually exhibit changes in the nature of vaginal discharge, and some may even experience burning pain in the vulva, as well as symptoms such as painful urination and urgent urination. However, vulvitis is also a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence, causing headaches for many women. The reasons are as follows: After treatment, some patients experience relief or elimination of vaginal itching symptoms, which results in the suppression of bacteria, but the disease has not been completely cured. When the pH value of the vulva changes, vulvitis can recur. The human body itself is a carrier of some fungi. If proper hygiene habits are not followed, such as wiping from the anus to the urethra after defecation, some bacteria may be carried into the vulva, leading to recurrence. The frequent use of antibiotics now repeatedly disrupts the restrictive relationship between vulvar flora, leading to vigorous fungal growth and recurrence. Neglecting hygiene, such as washing underwear and socks together, using substandard sanitary napkins or toilet paper, and sharing bathtubs with others, can lead to bacterial cross-infection and recurrence.
