(2) Change underwear every day during illness, and choose underwear made of pure cotton fabric, which is loose and comfortable.
(3) Don't abuse drugs when the vulva is uncomfortable. Because the bacteria that cause senile vaginitis are mostly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and other miscellaneous bacteria, unlike women of childbearing age, fungal vaginitis and trichomonal vaginitis are the most common. So don't use drugs indiscriminately to treat mold or trichomonas, and don't treat vulvar vaginitis as vulvar eczema, which will be counterproductive.
(4) Pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times to reduce the chance of getting sick. Don't wash the vulva with soap or various potions just for disinfection and sterilization. Because the vulva skin of elderly women is generally dry and atrophied, frequent use of irritating cleaning products such as soap to clean vulva will aggravate skin dryness, cause itching and damage vulva skin. Warm water should be used when cleaning vulva. You can add salt or vinegar, or choose neutral soap. The toilet paper you choose should have the word "label cancellation". Change your underwear frequently. Don't mix your washbasin and towel with others.
(5) Because of the thin vaginal mucosa and the decrease of elastic tissue in the vagina of elderly women, it is possible to damage the vaginal mucosa and blood vessels in the mucosa during sexual life, so that bacteria can invade.
Before sex, you can apply a small amount of oil to the vaginal opening to lubricate the vagina and reduce friction.
After the occurrence of senile vaginitis, patients feel vulvar burning, itching, discomfort, increased leucorrhea, thin yellow color and unpleasant smell, often accompanied by frequent urination, urgency or urinary incontinence.
Gynecological examination showed vulvar atrophy and congestion on the inner surface of labia minora; Vaginal mucosa becomes thinner, wrinkles disappear, congestion and scattered small bleeding spots, or superficial ulcers can be seen.
If vaginal inflammation is not cured for a long time, it may cause vaginal adhesion, even vaginal atresia, and inflammatory secretions cannot be discharged, resulting in vaginal pus or uterine cavity pus. Similarly, if the ulcer surface adheres to the opposite side, it can also cause diseases such as vaginal adhesion.
In view of the pathogenesis of senile vaginitis, the treatment should start with improving the vaginal environment, increasing the resistance of vaginal mucosa and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Mainly used externally to improve the vaginal environment, increase the resistance of vaginal mucosa and inhibit the growth of bacteria. If necessary, a small amount of estrogen (oral or topical) can be used under the guidance of a doctor. More importantly, when the discomfort is obvious, you must go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital for medical treatment and use the medicine according to the doctor's instructions.
