Genital infections and bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis or BV hull is the most common vaginal infection in women aged 3-5 years. It is caused by a bacterial imbalance in the vagina. Eighty-five per cent of women suffer from this infection during pregnancy. The vagina usually contains the best bacteria or lactobacilli and some bad bacteria or anaerobes. lactobacilli are the majority of the bacteria and control

the other bacteria. If for some reason the number of lactobacilli bacteria decreases, the other bad bacteria go out of control. At that time bacterial vaginosis or BV occurs.

Why is bacterial vaginosis?

No specific cause of bacterial imbalance is known in the vagina, but certain factors are thought to increase the risk of bacterial vaginosis.

Douche usage. Douche Hole is a mixture of water and vinegar that many uses to clean the vagina. The Douche available in the store is used antiseptic and aromatic.

Due to unsafe sexual intercourse. (Especially if multiple partners or partners change)

Use of Vaginal Deodorant, Vaginal Spray.

Use of antibiotics and steroids.

IUD or Intrauterine Device for Birth Control

What are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

Half of the women with bacterial vaginosis have no symptoms. In some cases, discharge of stinky white or grey may occur.

The odour becomes more apparent during the period or after the physical union.

Irritation and genital itching may also occur during urination.

Tell your doctor if such symptoms occur. He will check for BV or other infections and give instructions accordingly.

What effect can bacterial vaginosis have on pregnancy?

Studies have shown that bacterial vaginosis can increase the risk of childbirth, low birth weight, and uterine infection before delivery. Some studies have shown a relationship between bacterial vaginosis and abortion in the second trimester.

The relationship between bacterial vaginosis and intestinal complications is not yet proven. Complications can occur for a small number of mothers with BV. The chances of pelvic inflammatory disease are increased in girls who are not pregnant.

Bacterial vaginosis increases the risk of sexually transmitted infection. Eg gonorrhoea, chlamydia, HIV etc.

Treatment of bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy

If you are diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, you will be given antibiotics that are safe during pregnancy. But of course, you need to finish the course of antibiotics even if you find that the symptoms of the infection are gone. Antibiotics can prevent your infection, but unfortunately, it can happen again at any time.

In 5% of women, bacterial vaginosis reappears within three months. Antibiotics work to kill bad bacteria, but they cannot produce good bacteria. Therefore, when the symptoms of this appear again, you should consult a specialist immediately.

How to prevent bacterial vaginosis

The reason why bacterial imbalances are created is now unknown, so it takes a certain way to prevent bacterial vaginosis. But there are some things you can do to minimize the risk.

Try to have safe sex. If it has not been directly linked to bacterial vaginosis. However, in those who have never had sexual intercourse, the symptoms are lower.

If you have a smoking habit, it is time to quit. Smoking increases the risk of infection.

Try taking a shower without taking a bath in the hot tub or bathtub. After bathing, the genitals should be thoroughly cleaned and kept dry. Avoid scented and rough soap.

Taking care of a particular organ is nothing complicated. Regular care and remedial measures will keep you clean and healthy. Taking care does not just mean cleaning your bath time. Female genitals should be cleaned three to four times daily. Especially during the monsoon season and during the period. In order to prevent infection.

Cotton is softer and more skin-friendly. The cotton cloth absorbs air and moisture quickly. You can wear silk or other lingerie for a special occasion. Nevertheless, lingerie is best for regular reading. Avoid tight clothes. Because such clothing creates an obstruction in the air. Avoid using Douche. Douche should not be used during pregnancy too.
