Warning: Prevent vaginitis even after menopause

　　female menopause We must also guard against Vaginitis
　　
　　Experts say that the treatment of vaginitis is not difficult. As long as you adhere to regular treatment, it can generally be cured completely. However, if the treatment is not regular, it is easy to relapse.
　　
　　Many older women think that watching Gynecology It's a matter for young people. As people get older and their functions deteriorate, they don't need to see a gynecologist. In fact, this is a big mistake. If you do not seek medical treatment as soon as possible if you suffer from senile vaginitis, the originally simple symptoms will become complicated.

　　Can further affect sexual desire
　　
　　Senile vaginitis, also known as atrophic vaginitis, is a non-specific vaginitis that often manifests as increased leucorrhea that is light yellow in color. In severe cases, there may be bloody purulent leucorrhea. It mostly occurs in postmenopausal women. Vaginal bleeding, falling pain, and vaginal burning may occur. If it involves the vestibule and the mucosa around the urethral opening, frequent urination, dysuria, etc. often occur.
　　
　　Due to physiological changes in the vagina, postmenopausal women are "afraid" of normal sexual life and find it difficult to have sexual intercourse, which leads to antagonism between husband and wife. It is not uncommon for husbands to demand divorce. Senile vaginitis is a common disease that is closely related to sex. It further affects the already diminished sexual desire, and a few patients even terminate their sexual life. Because sexual intercourse can cause vaginal laceration, pain, and bleeding, which in turn can cause sexual pleasure to disappear and orgasm to be difficult to occur. When suffering from inflammation, burning pain or itching in the vulva can directly affect sexual interest. Therefore, refusing the husband's sexual request can easily cause emotional disputes between the couple.
　　
　　Senile vaginitis is generally not difficult to diagnose, but if the patient does not seek medical treatment in time and develops chronic inflammation, two consequences may occur: First, fibrosis of the vaginal submucosal connective tissue causes the vagina to lose its elasticity, and finally forms vaginal stenosis and scars. The other is to cause ulcers on the vaginal wall, leading to vaginal adhesion, and in severe cases, vaginal stenosis or even atresia. At this time, the originally increased secretions will not flow smoothly, causing vaginal or even Uterus Internal pus accumulates, forming pyometra, making inflammation more severe.

　　In addition to bacteria, the pathogenic microorganisms that cause vaginitis sometimes include Trichomonas or Candida. For these two types of vaginitis, if they are not diagnosed and treated in time, not only the elderly women will suffer, but their wives will also be infected.
　　
　　Therefore, elderly friends must not think that vaginitis is only for young women. disease , let alone make your own decisions, scalding with hot water or washing with salt water after getting sick will delay the condition.
　　
　　If it is clearly diagnosed as senile vaginitis, elderly friends do not need to feel psychological pressure. As the doctor said: "Senior vaginitis is as easy to cure as pharyngitis. It may happen again if the resistance is lowered, and it will be cured again with some medicine." elderly After menopause, the vagina is very thin, unlike the vagina of women of childbearing age. skin Very flexible. As people age, the entire body ages, and in this case, the resistance decreases. What's more, the vagina, like the mouth, is open to the outside and is easily infected by bacteria and inflammation."
