Vulvit treatment

Swelling, redness of the external genitalia, burning, itching, purulent discharge from the vagina, pain during urination, general malaise - all these are manifestations of such female disease as vulvit. Vulvit is accompanied by inflammation of the vulva, and the lesion is located on the mucous membrane of the vagina.

Vulvit, unfortunately, is a very common ailment. Quite often, vulvit is found not only in adult women - and in girls this disease is not uncommon, and symptoms in both one and the latter are approximately the same. The inflammation of the vulva is not fatal, but it is also not worth it to treat it, because this disease can easily move from the primary form into chronic, and then the woman is threatened with frequent trips to the doctor.

Vulvit: causes

External genitalia consist of very delicate fabrics. They have a significant number of folds, blood vessels and nerve endings, in addition, they constantly reside in a humid state. In view of such natural factors, inflammation of the vulva may occur. General and local causes of this disease are also distinguished.

General reasons include:

• obesity;
• diabetes mellitus;
• the presence of worms in the body;
• increased sweating;
• malignant tumors and injuries of the genitals;
• allergies to cosmetic soap, ointments, gels, etc.;
• frequent intake of antibiotics and hormonal drugs;
• lack of vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the body;
• diseases of the genitourinary system;
• intestinal diseases;
• various disorders of the nervous system.

Local reasons for the occurrence of vulvit include:

• close underwear;
• improper compliance with personal hygiene rules;
• wearing gaskets for a long period of time;
• irritation of vulva during intercourse;
• irritation of the external genitalia by discharge from the vagina;
• genital infections.

Vulvit: Symptoms of manifestation

Depending on the form of the disease, the severity of the symptoms of vulvit can be different. According to the clinical course of the disease, acute and chronic vulvitis is distinguished. The manifestation of these two forms of the disease is approximately the same, but only in the acute vulvitis, the symptoms accompanying it are much more expressed and they appear much faster.

Symptoms of vulvita:

• swelling of the large and small labia, redness;
• the appearance of red spots on the genitals;
• purulent discharge from the vagina;
• raids and plaques on the genitals;
• increase in lymph nodes in the inguinal region;
• unpleasant sensations of itching and burning;
• pain when walking, urinating and intercourse;
• increase in body temperature;
• sleep disturbance and increased excitability;
• weakness, malaise.

With the most serious complications of the course of the disease, fusion in the labia can occur, especially for girls. The complications of vulvit in women are the deformations of the genitals that occur due to healing of ulcers and erosions.

When the first signs of the disease appear, it is necessary to first see the doctor for the correct diagnosis. If, nevertheless, the gynecologist was diagnosed with vulvit, symptoms and treatment of the disease are the most important aspects of the problem, the solution of which must be devoted to the maximum time and attention.

Vulvit: Classification of the disease

1. Depending on the type of pathogen, specific and non -specific vulvit are distinguished.

• specific vulvit - occurs when pathogenic organisms, such as fungi, trichomonas, microbacteria of tuberculosis, chlamydia, gonococci, ureaplasma, etc.;
• non -specific vulvit - is a consequence of the damage to the inguinal region with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli and other simple microorganisms.

2. Depending on the cause of the development of the disease, vulvit is divided into primary and secondary.

• primary vulvit. Inappropriate hygiene of intimate zones, disorders of the endocrine system, the presence of helminths, cystitis, burns and injuries in the groin area, allergic reactions to personal hygiene items (allergic vulvit) leads to it. Less commonly, primary vulvitis occurs due to incorrect or prolonged use of antibiotics and hormones;
• secondary vulvit is an external manifestation of diseases of the internal genital organs. Vaginite, endometritis, cervicitis, trichomonosis, herpes, chlamydia - all these diseases can cause vulvit.

3. Depending on the etiological factor, bacterial and candidiasis vulvitis is distinguished.

• bacterial vulvit is a general inflammation of the external genitalia, which appears mainly against the background of hormonal anomalies in the woman’s body due to the effects of pathogenic bacteria. These are mainly trichomonas and herpes infection, rarely gonococci, bacteria of tuberculosis and chlamydia;
• candidiasis vulvit is a fungal inflammation associated with a decrease in immunity in stress, excessive loads and the wrong mode of the day. It occurs mainly in women of childbearing age and adolescents. In case of a disease of the candidal vulvit, the microflora of the vagina is disturbed, curdled discharge, swelling, itching and burning of the external genitalia appear.

4. Due to the pathological changes in the mucous membrane of the genitals, the vulvit is divided into atrophic, ulcerative and adhesive.

• atrophic vulvit - appears as a result of thinning of the mucous membrane of the genitals. If timely treatment with hormonal therapy is not performed, such a vulvit in most cases becomes the cause of the formation of erosion. Often develops in women after menopause;
• ulcerative vulvit - the formation of plaque on the mucous membrane of the external genitalia and the appearance of ulcers during combing. Most often develops in women of reproductive age;
• squeezing vulvit is the fusion of individual regions of the labia labia in girls due to metabolic disorders. Basically, when growing up and puberty, this disease is undergoing self. In rare cases, surgical intervention is required.

Vulvit treatment

Women often wonder how to treat vulvit? In the treatment of vulvit in women, the basis of therapy should be, first of all, the elimination of the cause that caused the disease, and not the elimination of the tormenting symptoms of the disease. We need complex therapy, i.e. A combination of general and local treatment methods.

With an acute form of vulvit, it is necessary to abstain from sexual activity and compliance with bed rest, due to avoiding mechanical damage to the mucous membrane of the genital organs.

If vulvit was caused by pathogenic microorganisms, treatment with antibiotics must be carried out. If the cause of the vulvit of the disease is sexually transmitted, the patient is prescribed special therapy aimed at destroying such an infection. With candidal form of vulvit, treatment is carried out by drugs against the fungus. Vulvit provoked by allergies is treated with diet and antihistamines. You can not eat sweet, spicy and salty.

In the treatment of vulvit, tablets, tampons with ointments and candles are used.

Vulvit treatment in girls

The gynecologist will say how to treat a children's vulvit only after clarifying the cause of its occurrence and only then prescribes appropriate treatment. The disease will take place with less complications if the child observes the correct hygiene regime. Local processing of the external genitalia includes:

• washing the external genitalia 2-3 times a day with decoctions of chamomile, calendula or series, soda, furatsilin or manganese;
• use of special adds;
• washing with anesthetics and ultraviolet irradiation with strong combs of the genital mucosa;
• the use of compresses and lotions with eucalyptus;
• with very severe itching in the groin area, the vagina is lubricated with ointment from Vulvit.

With a disease such as vulvit, treatment with ointment gives a strong effect and in many cases can be very effective.

Folk remedies for the treatment of vulvit

Very often, women, when inflammation occurred and vulvit, undergo treatment at home with folk remedies. In many cases, this is justified. The treatment of vulvit has proven itself in such ways as:

• the imposition of cold compresses and lotions on the inguinal region effectively eliminates some symptoms of the disease;
• washing the labia with silver water 2-3 times a day;
• washing the vagina with a warm solution of potassium permanganate (1 tbsp. L. solution 2% per 1 liter of warm water);
• reception of warm baths with chamomile infusion or potassium permanganate (from 10 to 15 minutes 2 times a day);
• the intake of the decoction of a perforated St. John's wort (2 tbsp. St. John's wort pour 0.5 liters of boiling water and cook, covering with a lid, over low heat for 5 minutes, then cool, strain and drink).

Traditional medicine very effectively helps in the cure of vulvit in women - symptoms and illness itself.

Vulvit treatment during pregnancy

The weakening of immunity in a pregnant woman, a consequence of which is an exacerbation of chronic diseases and the occurrence of infectious processes - all this perfectly contributes to the appearance of vulvit. Mostly in pregnant women, vulvit is treated throughout the entire pregnancy. Symptoms of the manifestation of the disease in pregnant women are similar to the symptoms of most sexual infections. The appearance of burning and itching in the genital area during intercourse, lifting severity, walking and urination, redness and swelling of the large and small labia, curdled discharge from the vagina with an unpleasant odor, the appearance of raid on the external genital organs - all these are signs of vulvita.

The main problem that occurs in pregnant women treated by vulvit is the lack of effective drugs that can be used in this position. For the future child, this disease does not have a strong effect.

Vulvit's prevention

Timely treatment and elimination of the disease is the key to success. Compliance with simple but very effective rules will help to avoid vulvit:

• observe the regime of personal hygiene;
• wear comfortable linen in size;
