Who is more likely to get bacterial vaginosis?

Who is more likely to get bacterial vaginosis? This is a concern of many female friends. In daily life, most women are troubled by vaginitis, which makes them miserable. Experts from Dujiangyan Hemei Gynecological Hospital point out that prevention and early detection of vaginitis are very important for the health of female friends.

1. Women taking estrogen: If women take a lot of estrogen in their daily lives, its glycogen will continue to accumulate in the vaginal epithelial cells. If the glycogen is broken down into lactic acid under the action of vaginal lactobacilli, it will destroy the pH value in the vagina, providing good conditions for the reproduction and growth of Candida.

2. People with diabetes: Diabetic patients have disordered sugar metabolism, elevated blood sugar, and increased glycogen content in vaginal epithelial cells, which changes the acidity in the vagina and is conducive to the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans.

3. Women who use antibiotics in large quantities: Under normal circumstances, there are many bacteria in the female vagina. These different bacterial communities are mutually restricted, forming a symbiotic state, which does not have a great impact on the body. If a large amount of antibiotics are used for a long time, it will cause the bacterial community in the vagina to become disordered, providing good conditions for the reproduction of Candida albicans, which is also the main factor leading to vaginitis.

4. Pregnant women: During pregnancy, the level of sex hormones in women's bodies is relatively high, which will increase the glycogen in the epithelial cells in the vagina, change the acidity of the vagina, and provide conditions for the growth of Candida albicans. After a woman becomes pregnant, her body's immunity decreases, making her very likely to suffer from candidal vaginitis.
