When a woman notices the first signs of bacterial vaginosis, the disease often has already fully progressed, and the normal vaginal microflora has already undergone numerous pathological changes. It is important to know that in the case of vaginosis, a timely visit to the gynecologist does not always help to quickly get rid of the disease. Therapy and its duration depend on many factors, including the stage of the disease, the age of the patient, and the presence of concomitant diseases in chronic form.
🌿 The normal vaginal microflora is a unique environment in which various types of fungi and bacteria continuously grow, develop, and die. The activity of these microorganisms is controlled by several systems of the female body, including the hormonal and immune systems. If this control is disrupted, the composition of the microflora, consequently, changes.
In women, vaginosis can manifest in different ways. Often, the clinical picture is blurred, symptoms of vaginosis may be absent, or on the contrary, there may be bothersome abundant foul-smelling discharge.
burning and discomfort during intercourse.
☝🏻Among the main and most significant causes of vaginosis are hormonal imbalance,
impaired immune system function, and the use of certain medications.
The cause of vaginosis is not the presence of pathogens,
but the change in the ratio of pathogenic microorganisms,
that provoke the onset of vaginosis,
and lactobacilli.
Bacterial vaginosis is often referred to as vaginal dysbiosis.
It is worth examining each cause of vaginosis in more detail.
🍀During the diagnosis of most gynecological diseases and those related to the endocrine system, hormonal imbalance is often observed.
Hormonal imbalance leads to issues related to the renewal of the epithelium in the vagina.
However, to eliminate the cause of vaginosis, comprehensive and thorough diagnostics under the careful guidance of a competent specialist are required.
🍀When there are malfunctions in the immune system, an imbalance also occurs in the vaginal microflora.
The activity of the production of secretory antibodies and immune cells decreases.
🍀If the bacterial composition of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) changes,
then this fact also affects changes in the vaginal microflora.
Consequently,
dysbiosis in the intestine can cause vaginosis.
🍀The development of vaginosis can be influenced by the intake of antibacterial drugs,
since the action of these agents on certain types of bacteria, in particular, is not selective.
Thus,
for example,
during the treatment of pneumonia, antibiotics can also destroy bacteria in the GIT,
as well as into the vagina.
