What are the main causes of female vaginal infection?

Vagina is one of the gynaecology diseases common to women and is the inflammation of the mucous membrane and sub-coupling tissues caused by multiple factors. The following are some of the main factors that lead to female vaginal inflammation:1. Microbiological infectionsMicrobiological infection is the most common cause of vaginal infection, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites.Bacteria vaginal inflammation: mainly caused by bacteria such as Gardnerella, anaerobics, which overgrowth disrupts the normal swarm balance of the vagina.Pyromococcal vaginal inflammation: mainly caused by white pyromoccus, which causes inflammation in the vagina.(c) Diffel vaginal infection: caused by vaginal caterpillars, transmitted through sexual exposure.Viral vaginal diseases such as human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes-only virus, etc.2. Vagina gynaecosisThere is a complex microbial ecosystem in the vagina, and under normal conditions the fungi is an advantage in the vagina and it helps to maintain the acidic environment of the vagina. When vaginal strains, such as the use of antibiotics, hormonal changes, excessive cleaning, etc., can lead to excessive growth of harmful microbes and cause vaginal inflammation.3. Personal hygiene practicesPoor hygiene practices are an important contributing factor to vaginal inflammation.Overcleaning: The frequent use of vaginal washing agents or soap to clean the vagina may damage the normal fungus in the vagina.Untimely change of underwear: The wet environment is conducive to the growth of bacteria and fungi.Use of inhalant underpants or sanitary towels: Inhalant materials lead to increased local humidity of the vagina and contribute to the growth of pathogens.4. Sexual lifeMultiple partners: Increased risk of infection.Unsafe sex: Non-use of condoms can increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.Untimely cleaning after sexual intercourse: may result in pathogen entering the vagina.5. Changes in hormone levelsChanges in female hormone levels, such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause etc., can alter the alkaline balance of the vagina and increase the risk of infection.6. Use of antibiotics and immunosuppressantsThe long-term use of antibiotics can destroy normal strains in the vagina, while immunosuppressants can reduce human immunity and increase the risk of infection.DiabetesDiabetes patients may suffer from reduced immunity due to poor blood sugar control, with vaginal environments more suitable for pathogen growth.8. Undergarments and clothingUndergarments in tight clothing or fibre-optic material may lead to increased local humidity and contribute to the growth of pathogens.9. Gynaecology and medical operationsGynaecology operations or medical operations, such as the placement of intrauterine devices and cervical smears, can damage the natural barrier of the vagina and increase the risk of infection.10. Psychological factors and stressLong-term stress and emotional fluctuations can affect the functioning of the immune system, thus increasing the risk of infection.11. Environmental factorsWet and hot environments may increase the incidence of vaginal infections.ConclusionsThe induction factors for vaginal inflammation are multiple, including microbial infections, vaginal herbology disorders, hygiene practices, sex life, hormone changes, drug use, diabetes, lingerie, gynaecological surgery, psychological and environmental factors. In order to prevent vaginal inflammation, women are advised to maintain good hygiene practices, to avoid excessive cleaning and use of inhalant underwear, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, to exercise appropriately, to reduce psychological stress and, if necessary, to seek help from a doctor. If symptoms of vaginal infection occur, they should be treated in a timely manner so that they can be properly diagnosed and treated.
