Symptoms of vaginal
dysbiosis in many situations do not appear. A woman for a long time may have no signs of a violation of the vaginal microflora. The nature of the discharge sometimes changes, but few people pay attention to this. Normally, there should be no discharge, or a small amount without unpleasant odors. No unpleasant sensations and dryness in the genitals, as well as with intimate acts, should appear. When this disease develops, the amount of discharge becomes larger, they acquire a whitish-yellow color, an unpleasant odor appears. In addition, dysbiosis may not manifest in any way, all other symptoms indicate its complications - the development of infection and inflammation of the genital organs.
Complications of vaginal dysbiosis
When this disease occurs, there are a lot of bacteria of opportunistic or pathogenic nature in the vaginal environment. They can cause inflammation of the vagina or cervix. Symptoms are an increase in the total number of secretions, the appearance of discomfort, this also applies to sexual activity. One of the initial signs may be dryness in the vagina during intercourse. Pathogenic bacteria provoke infection of the uterus, which leads to endometritis, and its appendages, followed by the appearance of adnexitis. Also, if dysbiosis occurs, the infection can penetrate the bladder or canal, as a result of which symptoms of urethritis and cystitis begin to appear.
Vaginal dysbiosis - causes
Violations of the microflora of the vagina can be not only in girls who live sexually, but also in those who have not started to deal with it. This is due to the unstable hormonal background during the first menstrual cycles and the structural features of the hymen. When sexual activity begins, many bacteria enter the vagina into the bladder, which can lead to cystitis. Manifestations of vaginal dysbiosis are sometimes limited only by copious discharge. It is difficult to treat this disease in a virgin for the reason that the structure of the pleura can become an obstacle to the proper use of drugs.
Dysbacteriosis during pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the causes of this disease. It can cause the appearance or intensification of symptoms or inflammation of the vagina. This is due to hormonal changes in the body of a woman during pregnancy, which affects the immunity and microflora of the vagina. It is difficult to conduct a full-fledged treatment of vaginal dysbiosis during pregnancy, since antibiotics are undesirable.
Dysbacteriosis and sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted infections usually lead to this disease. Normal microflora resists infection. In the presence of pathogens, inflammation of the genital tract begins, and violations of the vaginal microflora progress.
