Dysbacteriosis is vaginal.

A healthy body is a balanced system,If something is broken in the body, then there is no balance. Approximately the same happens with the microflora of the woman's vagina. The fact is that in a woman's pelvic organs there are microorganisms, some of them are useful "inhabitants", but the other part is microorganisms, which under certain conditions can cause diseases. When the balance between the useful and pathogenic microflora is disturbed, the development of the disease, which doctors call the dysbacteriosis of the vaginal or bacterial vaginosis, occurs.

Useful flora of the vagina for the most partis represented by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid substances and create an acid medium in the vagina, respectively. As is known, in this environment, conditionally pathogenic bacteria can not live and develop.

Dysbacteriosis vaginal can be a consequence of many factors:

- hormonal imbalance

- lack of personal hygiene

- taking medications or oral contraceptives

- malnutrition and obesity

- hypothermia

- promiscuous sexual intercourse

- frequent use of various lubricants and barrier methods of contraception

- permanent or abnormal wearing of the intrauterine device

- improper use of gaskets and tampons

- tight underwear and thong.

All these factors help to reducethe amount of lactobacillus, as a result of which the acidic medium changes to alkaline, and pathogenic microorganisms begin to rapidly divide, and cause the disease - vaginal dysbacteriosis.

How is bacterial vaginosis manifested?

One of the most frequent and commonmanifestations of vaginal dysbiosis are abundant secretions with a "fishy" pungent odor. Some women simply define this smell as harsh and unpleasant. The discharge is usually white or slightly yellowish.

Much less often patients complain of itching and unpleasant sensations in the area of ​​the external genitalia. Sexual contact can become painful.

It should be noted that, as a rule, there are no external signs of dysbacteriosis. Only sometimes you can find redness and swelling of the mucous membranes and whitish discharge.

The danger of dysbiosis is that most often it goes into the inflammatory process, because secondary flora is attached. And this entails more serious consequences.

How to treat vaginal dysbiosis?

Treatment of vaginal dysbacteriosis, firstturn, begins with suppression of growth and reproduction of pathological microflora. This is done in accordance with which flora prevails. Most often, antibacterial or antifungal drugs are prescribed.

Then you need to re-populate the vagina with a normal healthy microflora. For this, preparations containing a large number of eubiotics are used.

After this, you must activatethe immune function of the vaginal wall so that it begins to control the microflora. To do this, it is enough to use local immunomodulators. In some cases, general stimulation of the immune system can be used.

In general, the duration of therapy is 3-4 weeks, during this time interval, not only normal vaginal flora should recover, but also the protective function of lactobacilli.
