Under the function of secretin, a women of child-bearing age has her own characters in physiology. Vaginal epithelial cell hyperplasia occurs, superficial cells contain rich hepatin which can make contribute to growth of lactobacillus. These bacteria may account for almost ninety percents of bacteria in vagina. Thus, those massive lactobacillus can inhibit other pathogens, which can sustain a normal ecological balance in vagina.
When an oestrogen deficiency is found in a woman, it indicates that her vaginal epithelial is atrophic and glycogenic cells is bound to decrease. Taking a lot of antibiotic and using alkaline liquid to wash vagina excessively both can inhibit the growth of lactobacillus. In addition, frequent intercourse can indirectly brings about a large number of pathogenic anaerobes and gardnerella, which can lead to ecological imbalance of vagina. Decreased facultative lactobacilli can possiblely give rise to bacterial vaginosis.
A lot of women never take notice that BV can also lead to infertility. However, BV is a disease that widely exist in women who can not be pregnant. Why can BV affect fertility in women? As we know, vaginitis is able to change the environment and acidity-basicity in vagina. At this time, if semen enters the vagina of a BV patient, sperm can not move normally and has a risk of being killed. Because there is no sperm in uterus, woman absolutely can not be pregnant.
Let us take an example. Mrs.Ma is 24, who is a married woman without a child. Her vaginal fluid increases, which looks yellow and smells stuck. Plus, urinary tract infection symptoms reoccur within a year, such as frequent urine, urinary urgency and dysuria. She did a test, the result is as follows:
Gynecologial examination: A lot of maplike erythema distribute on vulva, it is swelling and scratch. Besides, vagina mucosa edema and erythema are manifestation s well.
Vaginal fluid: Clue cell (+++) PH>5.2
Routine urine test: WBC (+++), RBC (+)
Diagnosis: Recurrent bacterial vaginitis.
When this patient found Dr.Lee, she thought she was her last hope. As expected, she was finally pregnant after taking traditional Chinese medicine
Fuyan Pill for three months, and with no relapse.
Dr.Lee says that causes of bacterial vaginitis are complicated. In fact, bacteria, leaf mold, infusorium can all lead to bacterial vaginitis. To start with, we have to make sure of the pathogeny. Only to find apt and specific ways to solve problems can achieve a good effectiveness. While for some bacteria vaginitis patients, their mates should receive treatment as well. That is because if the men does not recover, he can again infect the woman.
What if bacteria vaginitis left untreated? A large number of BV patients who have already known their condition but do not go to the hospital for being not unwilling to offend one's sensibilities or shyness are more likely to solve the problems by themselves. Some people choose to purchase medicine themselves and others do not like to go to normal hospitals.
