Vaginal dysbiosis

In a healthy woman, the vagina is not completely sterile. It is inhabited by a different kind of bacteria. At the same time, their quantitative composition is in equilibrium. Violation of this condition is characterized as dysbiosis of the vagina. They suffered in this or that vital moment almost every woman. As a rule, the dysbiosis of the vagina does not have a negative effect and does not provoke consequences, but in some cases it can cause very serious disorders in the body.

The imbalance in the vaginal microflora is aggravated during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that in this state the woman's immunity is weakened. During pregnancy, the dysbiosis of the vagina can manifest itself in the form of abundant secretions, increased burning or itching. Similar disorders are associated with changes at the hormone level of a pregnant woman.

It should be noted that the treatment of dysbiosis in prenatal period is almost impossible. This is due to the need to take strong antibiotics, which during pregnancy is strictly prohibited.

To provoke violations in the balance of the vaginal microflora are capable and infections transmitted during sex. Penetration of the pathogen contributes to the increased development of opportunistic bacteria, which were previously contained in an insignificant amount. Thus, the dysbiosis of the vagina acquires a rapid current. This factor must be taken into account when prescribing therapy. With serious sexual infections (chlamydia, trichomoniasis and others), first of all get rid of them, and then eliminate the dysbiosis of the vagina. Treatment is carried out using antibiotics and immunity-corrective medications.

The anatomy of a woman is such that the vaginal wall is located quite close to the rectum. This promotes the migration of bacteria. When setting the diagnosis of "intestinal dysbiosis" there is a high proportion of the probability of a violation of the vaginal microflora against its background. As practice shows, the results of the tests confirm this. In this case, a violation of the equilibrium of the vaginal microflora is difficult enough to treat. This is due to a constant probability of penetration of opportunistic bacteria through the thin wall of the intestine. Therefore, therapy begins with him.

Violations in the balance of the microflora of the vagina can develop in girls who have not lived sexually. Dysbiosis in virgins is rarely accompanied by abundant secretions. This is due to the structure of the hymen, which prevents their exit. In such cases, stagnation occurs, which contributes to inflammation. At the same time, the first sexual acts provoke the ingestion of a mass of foreign bacteria, which can also lead to the development of a serious disease. It should be noted that the hymen hinders the use of external drugs and the treatment of the vagina with medicines. This, in turn, leads to prolonged treatment. In some cases it is advisable to apply a hymenectomy (to break the integrity of the hymen by means of special tools).

As practice shows, dysbiosis does not cause any problems for a woman's partner even in the case of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. An exception, however, is a marked imbalance in the microflora. In such cases, it is possible to develop balapostitis or urethritis. It should be noted that these ailments are observed in men with low immunity and predisposed to diseases.

Violation of the balance of microflora in the vagina does not require treatment of the sexual partner. The only exception is the presence of a sexually transmitted disease in a man or a woman.
